Paperwork and rules for Florida businesses online

A few rules apply to any Wilton Manors business that sells or advertises online:

• Florida’s state sales tax is 6%, and Broward County adds a 1.0% surtax in 2026, for 7.0% on most taxable sales. 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 Wilton Manors, that means asking Broward County and the City of Wilton Manors. Sections 205.032 (counties) and 205.042 (municipalities), Florida Statutes
• 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)
• 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
