Do not own this condo & did not sell it , but I paid $900. in sales tax to Florida for a rental sale tax fee, where can I take this $900. deduction

I do not own this property I rent it, for 4 1/2 months, it is a sale tax !!!

"I paid $900. in sales tax to Florida for a rental sale tax fee"

Regardless of whether the entirety qualifies as a "sales tax", the amount you paid does not qualify as a separately stated item for the purposes of the itemized "sales tax" deduction. Those separately stated items are limited to the likes of motor vehicles, planes, boats, manufactured homes and materials.
