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. Orange County's surtax is among the lowest in Florida, which is why Orlando is cheaper at the register than Tampa despite similar tourism volume. Check the Florida Department of Revenue guidance for the category you are pricing before assuming 6.5% applies.
