• Car washes (5): wash packages, prices you choose to publish, hours and location.
• Full-service restaurants (17): the menu, hours, location and photos of the food, easy to read on a phone.

Florida rules to know before your website goes live

A few rules apply to any Milton business that sells or advertises online:

• 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
• Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; Florida’s is more than $100,000 of taxable remote sales in the previous calendar year. Section 212.0596, Florida Statutes
• If your website sells products, collect 7.0% on most taxable sales delivered in Santa Rosa 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 Milton, that means asking Santa Rosa County and the City of Milton. Sections 205.032 (counties) and 205.042 (municipalities), Florida Statutes
