The legal basics for Bascom businesses online

Some homework before launch:

• If your website sells products, collect 7.5% on most taxable sales delivered in Jackson County: 6% state tax plus the county’s 1.5% surtax for 2026. DR-15DSS (2026)
• If you do business under a name other than your legal name, Florida requires you to register that fictitious name with the Division of Corporations first (Section 865.09, Florida Statutes); the registration lasts five years. Section 865.09, Florida Statutes
• 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 Bascom, that means asking Jackson County and the Town of Bascom. Sections 205.032 (counties) and 205.042 (municipalities), Florida Statutes
