County-wide, Levy County counts 886 businesses with employees and 3,629 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023).

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)
• Local business tax receipts in Florida can come from the county and, inside city or town limits, from the municipality: for you, Levy County and Cedar Key. Sections 205.032 (counties) and 205.042 (municipalities), Florida Statutes
• If your website sells products, collect 7.0% on most taxable sales delivered in Levy County: 6% state tax plus the county’s 1.0% surtax for 2026. DR-15DSS (2026)
