About this file
This is a Florida Sales Tax Exemption Certificate issued to Sarasota County for the period October 21, 2025, through December 31, 2030. The certificate, numbered 85-8012515235C-5, exempts Sarasota County Administration from Florida sales and use tax on transient rental property, tangible personal property, and services purchased for county government activities. The exemption is specifically designated for county government use and applies only to purchases made directly by the organization for its customary nonprofit activities. The certificate requires that the county provide this exemption certificate to all vendors and suppliers prior to making tax-exempt purchases in accordance with Florida Administrative Code Rule 12A-1.038.
The exemption certificate carries significant compliance requirements and penalties for misuse. Purchases made by individuals on behalf of the county remain taxable unless the individual is reimbursed by the organization. The county is prohibited from using the certificate for personal benefit or for sales and leases of tangible personal property to others, which would require separate sales tax registration and collection. Fraudulent presentation of the certificate constitutes a criminal offense subject to payment of sales tax plus a 200 percent penalty and potential conviction as a third-degree felony, resulting in certificate revocation. Questions regarding the exemption should be directed to Florida Department of Revenue Taxpayer Services at 850-488-6800 or fdortaxpayerservices@floridarevenue.com.
