Florida sales tax rates by ZIP code

Counties add discretionary surtaxes, several of which cap the taxable amount on a single item — the min/max taxable columns in the + editions matter here.

What you actually have to charge in Florida

Local jurisdictions add their own rate on top, so the rate you must actually charge is almost never the state rate.

What's in the Florida rate file

Florida data ships inside every edition — we do not sell single-state files. Each row carries the ZIP code, county and city name, the rate at each jurisdiction level, the combined total, and whether shipping is taxable. The higher editions add district reporting codes, FIPS codes, effective dates and sales tax holiday windows.

Research

Official Florida sales tax resources

Every link below goes to an official Florida government source, not to us. The state is always the authority — our file is how you avoid checking it by hand every month.

How local tax works in Florida. State-collected. Counties, not cities, may impose a discretionary sales surtax, which the Department collects with the 6% state tax on the same DR-15 return.

Worth knowing. The county surtax generally applies only to the first $5,000 of a single sale of tangible property, with no cap for services or commercial rent, and is sourced to the county of delivery. Rates are republished each November in Form DR-15DSS.

Questions

Florida sales tax questions

What is the sales tax rate in Florida?

The statewide base rate is 6%. Local jurisdictions add their own rate on top, so the rate you must actually charge is almost never the state rate.

Is shipping taxable in Florida?

It depends on how you bill it. In Florida a separately stated shipping charge is generally not taxable — but bill shipping and handling as one combined charge and the whole thing becomes taxable.

That distinction catches people out, which is why our file carries both flags — TAX_SHIPPING_ALONE and TAX_SHIPPING_AND_HANDLING_TOGETHER — on every row, for the specific jurisdiction. Your system doesn't have to encode the rule.

How many sales tax jurisdictions are there in Florida?

We track 67 bodies that actually levy a sales tax in Florida — 65 counties and 2 special districts — across 1,457 FL ZIP codes. We count a county, city or district only where it charges something, not merely because it appears in the file.
