Any Florida business that sells, rents, or leases tangible personal property — or sells certain services — must hold a Florida Sales Tax License from the Department of Revenue. EfilePermit.com files the application on your behalf, and once it's approved, your license lives in your dashboard forever.
Also called a Florida sales tax registration, seller's permit, or dealer certificate — it's the same FL DOR document.
If any of the following applies to your business, you likely need to register.
Any of these apply — register before you collect tax.
Edge cases — when in doubt, ask a tax professional.
Florida does not treat unregistered selling as a harmless oversight. Waiting exposes your business to taxes, penalties, and compliance headaches that cost far more than getting registered now.
If you make taxable sales before registering, Florida can still hold your business responsible for the tax that should have been collected. Money you never charged the customer may have to come out of your own pocket.
Late or unpaid Florida sales tax can trigger penalties and interest. A delay that feels small today can become a much larger compliance bill once the state calculates what was due.
Once the state starts asking for invoices, certificates, and filings, scattered records create more exposure. EfilePermit.com helps you get compliant early and keep everything organized in one place.
Skip the state portal. Answer a few questions, and EfilePermit takes care of the filing.
Complete a short intake form with your business information, ownership details, and what you sell. No tax knowledge required — takes under 5 minutes.

Florida businesses register for a sales and use tax account through the Florida Department of Revenue. Many business owners call it a Florida sales tax license, sales tax permit, or Certificate of Registration.
The Florida Department of Revenue administers Florida sales and use tax and handles the registration process.
Free. Florida does not charge a fee to register directly. EfilePermit.com charges a $99 service fee to prepare and file it on your behalf.
Businesses selling taxable goods or taxable services in Florida should register before collecting tax from customers.
Your Florida sales tax registration remains active unless the account is closed, canceled, or otherwise changed. Ongoing filing responsibilities still apply.
Florida issues an Annual Resale Certificate for Sales Tax to qualifying active accounts — a valuable document for businesses buying items for resale.
Florida's state sales tax rate is 6%. Many counties add a discretionary sales surtax on top of the state rate, varying by location.
Remote sellers generally must register if they exceed $100,000 in taxable sales into Florida — Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, eBay, and your own site all count.
