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 6.5% on most taxable sales delivered in Palm Beach County: 6% state tax plus the county’s 0.5% surtax for 2026. DR-15DSS (2026)
• Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance
• 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 Gulf Stream, that means asking Palm Beach County and the Town of Gulf Stream. Sections 205.032 (counties) and 205.042 (municipalities), Florida Statutes
• 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)
