What Florida asks of a business with a website

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Florida rules as any other.

• 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
• Levy County and the City of Fanning Springs may each charge a local business tax; ask both before you open. Sections 205.032 (counties) and 205.042 (municipalities), Florida Statutes
• Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; Florida’s is more than $100,000 of taxable remote sales in the previous calendar year. Section 212.0596, Florida Statutes
• Florida’s state sales tax is 6%, and Levy County adds a 1.0% surtax in 2026, for 7.0% on most taxable sales. DR-15DSS (2026)
