SALES TAX

Sales tax is required, by Florida Statute, at 6% of the purchase price, less trade-in on vehicle purchases. As an agent for the Florida Department of Revenue, the tax collector is responsible for collection and dispersement of this tax along with a 1% surtax imposed by the Columbia County Board of County Commissioners. This surtax is 1% on the first $5,000 dollars for a maximum of $50.00.
