Florida sales tax in context
Florida charges 6.00% statewide with optional county "discretionary surtaxes" of 0.5% β 1.5%, capped at the first $5,000 of any single tangible-goods purchase. State average combined rate is 7.02%. With no state income tax, sales tax is Florida's primary revenue source. Most counties (Miami-Dade, Orange, Hillsborough) charge 7% combined; some rural counties stay at 6%.
Florida-specific FAQs
Florida's discretionary county surtax applies only to the first $5,000 of any single tangible item. So on a $30,000 car at 7%, you pay 6% on the full price + 1% county surtax only on the first $5,000 β saving meaningfully on large purchases.
Groceries (unprepared food), prescription drugs, and most medical equipment are exempt. Prepared restaurant food, soda, candy, and clothing are all taxable. Florida runs back-to-school and disaster-prep sales tax holidays each year.
Mostly no. Most professional services (accounting, legal, consulting) are exempt, but specific services like commercial cleaning, security, pest control, and detective services are taxable. Always verify with the Florida Department of Revenue for your specific service.
