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.

• If your website sells products, collect 7.0% on most taxable sales delivered in Brevard County: 6% state tax plus the county’s 1.0% surtax for 2026. DR-15DSS (2026)
• Florida’s Florida Digital Bill of Rights exists, but its thresholds are high: 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)
• Brevard County and the Town of Grant-Valkaria may each charge a local business tax; ask both before you open. Sections 205.032 (counties) and 205.042 (municipalities), Florida Statutes
