Before you publish: Florida and federal rules

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

• 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 Trenton, that means asking Gilchrist County and the City of Trenton. Sections 205.032 (counties) and 205.042 (municipalities), Florida Statutes
• Newsletters and promotions sent from your business email must include a working way to unsubscribe (16 CFR Part 316). 16 CFR Part 316
• If your website sells products, collect 7.0% on most taxable sales delivered in Gilchrist County: 6% state tax plus the county’s 1.0% surtax for 2026. DR-15DSS (2026)

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