Florida Sales Tax Rates

Florida Counties Each Set Their Own Tax Rates

By , About.com Guide

Florida law mandates a minimum sales tax rate of 6%, collected by the state government to provide services to all Floridians. However, the law also provides for a local option sales tax that lets each county set its own local tax that is collected on top of the general state rate.

What does this mean for you? Practically speaking, it means that you'll pay a different sales tax rate in each Florida county. The table below lists the current rates for each county in the state.
