The legal basics for Port Richey businesses online

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• 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 Port Richey, that means asking Pasco County and the City of Port Richey. 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
• If your website sells products, collect 7.0% on most taxable sales delivered in Pasco County: 6% state tax plus the county’s 1.0% surtax for 2026. DR-15DSS (2026)
• A contact form collects personal information, and Florida has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. Section 501.171, Florida Statutes (Florida Information Protection Act of 2014)

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your city hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
