Official figures · Florida

Florida in numbers

The figures that shape how many people your site can reach in Florida, and how the state and its counties tax a sale. Each one comes from the Florida Legislature, its Office of Economic and Demographic Research, or the Florida Department of Revenue.

Florida population, April 1, 2025
23,379,261
The state's official estimate for April 1, 2025. That is a large market to reach online, and in most trades it also means many competitors for the same searches.
Official source Florida Legislature, Office of Economic and Demographic Research · Florida Population Estimates by County and Municipality, April 1, 2025
Population growth, April 2020 to April 2025
1,841,074
Florida grew by 1,841,074 people between the 2020 Census count and the April 1, 2025 estimate. Newcomers find local businesses by searching, so a site they can find and trust matters.

Florida state sales tax rate
6%
Section 212.05 of the 2026 Florida Statutes sets the state rate at 6 percent of the sales price of each item of tangible personal property. Ask whether anything in your website quote counts as a taxable sale.

County discretionary sales surtax rates
0.5% to 2%
The Florida Department of Revenue says county surtax rates currently range from 0.5% to 2%, and some counties levy none. It publishes the rates for each year on Form DR-15DSS. If a quote includes taxable items, the county can change the total.

Florida rules to check before you build

These are Florida's own rules, set out in the Florida Statutes, on top of the federal basics covered in our US guide. They are pointers on what to check and what to ask, not tax or legal advice.

  1. §1

    Sales tax: service or sale?

    Florida taxes sales of goods at 6 percent. Section 212.08(7)(v) of the 2026 Florida Statutes exempts professional, insurance, or personal service transactions that involve sales as inconsequential elements, for which no separate charges are made. Software or equipment billed separately in the same contract can change the answer. Ask every studio whether its price adds Florida sales tax, and check with the Florida Department of Revenue if you are unsure.

    Official source Florida Legislature · 2026 Florida Statutes, s. 212.08
  2. §2

    County surtax and the $5,000 cap

    Florida counties levy a discretionary sales surtax by ordinance, and under section 212.054 of the 2026 Florida Statutes the sales amount above $5,000 on any item of tangible personal property is not subject to it. The Department of Revenue puts current county rates between 0.5% and 2%, and some counties levy none. If a quote includes taxable items, such as hardware or licenses, ask which county's surtax is applied and to what.

    Official source Florida Legislature · 2026 Florida Statutes, s. 212.054
  3. §3

    Who the Florida Digital Bill of Rights covers

    The 2026 Florida Statutes define a 'controller' under the Florida Digital Bill of Rights as a business with more than $1 billion in global gross annual revenues that also meets one of three tests: 50 percent or more of its revenue from online ads, a consumer smart speaker with a voice assistant, or an app store offering at least 250,000 apps. Be wary of a quote that sells a small business 'Florida privacy compliance' on the strength of this law alone.

    Official source Florida Legislature · 2026 Florida Statutes, s. 501.702
  4. §4

    Breach notices for customer data

    The Florida Information Protection Act (section 501.171) covers far smaller businesses. It requires reasonable measures to protect personal information held electronically, including a user name or email address combined with a password. It requires notice to affected people no later than 30 days after a breach is determined, and to the Department of Legal Affairs when 500 or more people in Florida are affected. If your site has logins or stores customer details, ask how they are protected and who would tell you about a breach.

    Official source Florida Legislature · 2026 Florida Statutes, s. 501.171
  5. §5

    Consent before marketing texts

    Florida's telephone solicitation law, section 501.059, requires prior express written consent before unsolicited sales calls or texts made with an automated dialing system. A checked box can count as the signature, but the agreement must include the phone number and state that agreeing is not a condition of buying. A person can recover their actual damages or $500, whichever is greater, per violation. If your site's forms collect phone numbers for offers, ask for the opt-in to be written to this standard.

What moves the price

Six things that decide the cost

Storvexa Your quote, line by line

  1. 01

    Pages and content

    Five pages cost less than twenty. Writing the copy, finding photos and moving content from an old site all take time, so say up front who supplies them.

  2. 02

    Theme or custom code

    A premium WordPress theme is the quickest and cheapest route. A site written in our own code costs more, loads faster and has no page-builder plugins to keep updating.

  3. 03

    What the site has to do

    A contact form is simple. Online booking, payments, client logins or a shop each add work, because each has to be built, tested and kept safe.

  4. 04

    Languages and markets

    Every extra language means translated pages and its own search setup. Prices in more than one currency add a little more.

  5. 05

    Connections to your tools

    Linking the site to a CRM, a booking calendar, an accounting tool or a payment provider is quoted per connection, after we have seen what the tool allows.

  6. 06

    Speed and search work

    Basic Google setup comes with every site. Full on-page SEO, a Google Business Profile and analytics come with the custom-coded package.

Questions Florida businesses ask about website cost

Asked before anyone asks for a quote.

Ask us anything else

It depends on the number of pages, whether the site runs on WordPress or is custom-coded, and what it has to connect to. Our starting prices for each type are shown at the top of this page in US dollars. Before you compare Florida quotes, check whether each one includes any sales tax or county surtax, and what changes after launch will cost.

It depends on what the contract delivers. Florida's sales tax law exempts professional, insurance and personal service transactions that involve sales only as inconsequential elements, with no separate charge for them. Software or equipment billed in the same deal can change that. Ask each studio whether its quote adds Florida tax, and check with the Florida Department of Revenue if you are unsure.

Usually not as a controller. Florida's statute limits a controller to businesses with more than $1 billion in global annual revenue that also meet one of three tests, such as earning half their revenue from online ads. Florida's breach-notice law, section 501.171, does reach far smaller businesses, so ask how your site stores customer logins and personal data.

Yes, if the consent is right. Florida's telephone solicitation law requires prior express written consent before automated sales calls or texts, and a checked box can count as the signature. The form must include the phone number and say clearly that agreeing is not a condition of buying. Ask your studio to build the opt-in that way and keep a record.

Storvexa is a remote studio, so the whole project runs online. We book calls in your time zone, Eastern or Central in the western Panhandle, quote in US dollars, and send a written quote with the pages, features, timeline and payment stages before work starts. You approve the design and then the finished site before anything goes live.

If you trade under a name other than your own legal name or your registered company name, yes. Section 865.09 of the Florida Statutes says you may not do business under a fictitious name until you register it with the Division of Corporations. Check that the name on your site, domain and invoices matches what you have registered.
