What makes Florida different

Florida's 6% state rate is comparatively low, and each county adds its own discretionary surtax of up to 1.5%, so the combined rate lands between 6% and 7.5%.

There is no local sales tax on groceries: food and non-alcoholic beverages are fully exempt, and prescription drugs are exempt too.

Clothing is taxable. Florida occasionally runs short sales-tax holidays (for example on hurricane supplies or back-to-school items), which are temporary and set by the legislature each year.
