County Of Sarasota issued the following announcement on Mar. 21.
Do you know the difference between a sales tax and a property tax? Property taxes (ad valorem) are based on property ownership. Sales taxes are generated from monetary transactions/purchases made in Sarasota County.
That means tourists and visitors to Sarasota County help support county infrastructure services. And there are multiple exemptions from a sales tax. For a full listing, view Florida Statute 212.08 at https://bit.ly/3x0TOvZ.
