Why the rate here is not the whole story
Florida's state rate is 6 percent and Hendry County levies a discretionary sales surtax of 1.5 percent, which applies countywide because Florida cities and special districts cannot levy a general sales tax of their own. The 1.5 percent is the total of 2 separate surtaxes the county levies at once, each with its own purpose and expiration date, and the form lists the total as the rate a dealer collects. The surtax is charged only on the first $5,000 of a single item of tangible personal property, so the county portion stops accruing above that amount while the 6 percent state tax applies to the full price.
