Major Tax Relief for Businesses: No More Sales Tax on Commercial Rent Starting October 1, 2025

Starting October 1, 2025, businesses that rent commercial space in Florida will no longer have to pay state sales tax on commercial rent. This change is described as major tax relief aimed at lowering occupancy costs for companies and helping them redirect money toward payroll, expansion, and other operating expenses. The announcement encourages both landlords and tenants to review their leases and invoices so that state sales tax is removed from qualifying commercial rent after the effective date and to seek guidance from the tax collector’s office if they have questions about how the change applies to them.
