Sales tax in Orlando

The 6.500% you pay at a Orlando register is made up of 6.00% state tax plus roughly 0.500% in local taxes — a combination of county, city, and special-district levies. 6% state + 0.5% Orange County discretionary surtax. Lower than many Florida metros. Groceries exempt.

That's below the Florida statewide average of 7.02%. Cities with lower combined rates often have fewer special districts (transit, sports facilities, redevelopment zones) layered on top.

Florida exempts unprepared groceries from sales tax. Restaurant meals and prepared food are taxable at the full combined rate.

For exact tax on a transaction at a specific Orlando address, use the Florida Department of Revenue's lookup or a tool like Avalara. Rates can vary block-by-block when special tax districts cover part of the city.
