Florida rules to know before your website goes live

Some homework before launch:

• 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
• If your website sells products, collect 7.5% on most taxable sales delivered in Calhoun County: 6% state tax plus the county’s 1.5% surtax for 2026. DR-15DSS (2026)
• Out-of-state sellers have to collect Florida sales tax once they pass more than $100,000 of taxable remote sales in the previous calendar year. Section 212.0596, 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 Blountstown, that means asking Calhoun County and the City of Blountstown. Sections 205.032 (counties) and 205.042 (municipalities), Florida Statutes
