SALES TAX AND THE
PENNY
Florida’s sales tax rate is six percent.
The Penny for Pinellas is an additional
1 percent sales tax dedicated to capital
improvement projects in Pinellas
County, such as facilities, stormwater
improvements, preservation land
purchases, roads, bridges, public safety,
parks and community centers. The
Penny funds enable the community to
continue enhancing the quality of life in
the county.
The Penny makes capital projects and
improvements possible without having
to raise property taxes. Without this
funding, it is estimated that property
owners would have to pay another 2
mills on their property taxes. With a sales
tax, approximately one-third of the total
Penny funds are paid for by tourists and
seasonal residents.
