How Florida Sales Tax Works

Florida charges a 6% statewide sales tax on most retail goods. Each of Florida's 67 counties may impose a discretionary sales surtax of up to 1.5% for local purposes. The result: Florida buyers pay between 6% and 7.5% depending on their county. Florida does not have city-level sales taxes — only state and county rates apply. Florida uses destination-based sourcing.

Florida County Sales Tax Rates — 2026

Hillsborough (Tampa), Pinellas (St. Pete), Leon (Tallahassee), and Escambia (Pensacola) all apply the maximum 1.5% surtax for 7.5% combined. Miami-Dade, Broward (Fort Lauderdale), and Duval (Jacksonville) levy 1% for 7% combined. Orange County (Orlando) charges 0.5% for 6.5% combined. Lee County (Fort Myers, Cape Coral) is also 6.5%.

Florida Sales Tax Exemptions

Florida exempts most grocery food items, prescription medicines, and certain medical equipment. Florida also holds regular tax-free shopping holidays each year covering clothing, school supplies, disaster preparedness items, and sometimes energy-efficient products.

Florida Tourism and Sales Tax

Florida is a top tourist state and sales tax applies to virtually all retail purchases by visitors — theme parks, restaurants, and shopping all carry the county rate. Accommodation is subject to sales tax plus additional tourist development taxes. Foreign visitors do not receive VAT-style refunds.

Common mistakes to avoid

Using only the state base rate

Florida local taxes can change the final combined rate. Use the city or county rate when available, not only the 6% state rate.

Forgetting shipping and delivery rules

Shipping can be taxable, exempt, or taxable only when bundled with taxable goods depending on state rules and invoice wording.

Treating every item category the same

Groceries, clothing, medicine, digital goods, and prepared food can follow different tax rules. Check the item category before quoting a final price.

Using an estimate for tax filing

Calculator results are useful for receipts and budgeting, but businesses should confirm address-level rates and exemptions with official sources before filing.
