Why the rate here is not the whole story

Florida's state rate is 6 percent and Volusia County levies a discretionary sales surtax of 0.5 percent, which applies countywide because Florida cities and special districts cannot levy a general sales tax of their own. 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.
