What Florida asks of a business with a website

Some homework before launch:

• 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)
• 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)
• In Union County, the 2026 discretionary sales surtax is 1.0%, so most taxable sales carry 7.0% in total (the state’s 6% plus the county surtax). DR-15DSS (2026)
• 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 Raiford, that means asking Union County and the Town of Raiford. Sections 205.032 (counties) and 205.042 (municipalities), Florida Statutes
