What Florida asks of a business with a website

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• 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)
• In Dixie 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)
• Local business tax receipts in Florida can come from the county and, inside city or town limits, from the municipality: for you, Dixie County and Cross City. Sections 205.032 (counties) and 205.042 (municipalities), Florida Statutes

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your town hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
