What Florida asks of a business with a website
These are some of the Florida and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:
- What your website says about prices, results and reviews has to be true; Florida’s Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act applies to online claims too. Section 501.204, Florida Statutes
- If your website sells products, collect 7.0% on most taxable sales delivered in Nassau County: 6% state tax plus the county’s 1.0% surtax for 2026. DR-15DSS (2026)
- Florida counties and cities may each levy a local business tax for the privilege of doing business in their jurisdiction (Chapter 205, Florida Statutes), so a business can owe a county receipt and a city receipt. In Fernandina Beach, that means asking Nassau County and the City of Fernandina Beach. Sections 205.032 (counties) and 205.042 (municipalities), Florida Statutes
