What this rate applies to
Florida publishes the taxable base separately from the rate. Groceries, prescription drugs, clothing and services are treated differently state to state, and several categories in Florida are taxed at reduced rates or exempt entirely. Jacksonville is consolidated with Duval County, so the county surtax is effectively the city rate for nearly the whole municipal area. Check the Florida Department of Revenue guidance for the category you are pricing before assuming 7.5% applies.
