Running a website from Indian Rocks Beach: the Florida rules
Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

- Florida’s state sales tax is 6%, and Pinellas County adds a 1.0% surtax in 2026, for 7.0% on most taxable sales. DR-15DSS (2026)
- The Florida Digital Bill of Rights rarely reaches a local business: Controllers with more than $1 billion in global gross annual revenue that also meet one more test (for example, at least half of revenue from online ads, or operating an app store or smart speaker). A typical small business is outside it. Part V of Chapter 501, Florida Statutes (Sections 501.701-501.722)
- 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 Indian Rocks Beach, that means asking Pinellas County and the City of Indian Rocks Beach. Sections 205.032 (counties) and 205.042 (municipalities), Florida Statutes
