Running a website from Jacob City: the Florida rules
Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.
- If personal information of Florida residents is exposed in a breach, the business must notify the people affected no later than 30 days after it determines the breach occurred (Section 501.171, Florida Statutes). Section 501.171, Florida Statutes (Florida Information Protection Act of 2014)
- 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 Jacob City, that means asking Jackson County and the City of Jacob City. Sections 205.032 (counties) and 205.042 (municipalities), Florida Statutes
- In Jackson County, the 2026 discretionary sales surtax is 1.5%, so most taxable sales carry 7.5% in total (the state’s 6% plus the county surtax). DR-15DSS (2026)
