Before you publish: Florida and federal rules

These are some of the Florida and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• In Pasco County, the 2026 discretionary sales surtax is 1.0%, so most taxable sales carry 7.0% in total (the state’s 6% plus the county surtax). DR-15DSS (2026)
• The name on your website and your sign has to be either your legal name or a registered fictitious name. Section 865.09, Florida Statutes
