Select a county above to add its surtax. The $5,000 cap only bites once there is a county surtax to cap.

The cap is per item of tangible personal property. It does not apply to services, admissions, warranties, transient rentals or parking and storage space — see the exclusions.

The bit that catches people out

The county surtax stops at the first $5,000 of a single item of tangible personal property. State sales tax at 6% applies to the whole amount. Charge the combined rate on a $12,000 machine and you have overcollected by more than a hundred dollars.

On services, admissions, warranties, transient rentals and parking or storage space there is no cap at all. How the cap works

It follows the delivery, not your address

A Tampa business shipping to Orlando charges Orange County's rate, not Hillsborough's. Motor vehicles follow the buyer's registered address instead. The sourcing rules

Rates move on 1 January

Counties vote surtaxes in with expiry dates, so a rate can drop simply because a surtax hit its sunset. Two counties dropped for 2026 and two extended surtaxes that were due to expire. What changed for 2026
