Florida rules to know before your website goes live

These are some of the Florida and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• Out-of-state sellers have to collect Florida sales tax once they pass more than $100,000 of taxable remote sales in the previous calendar year. Section 212.0596, Florida Statutes
• 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 Pinellas 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)
• Pinellas County and the City of Safety Harbor may each charge a local business tax; ask both before you open. Sections 205.032 (counties) and 205.042 (municipalities), Florida Statutes
