Attorney Tax
The Sarasota County Attorney Tax is to be paid by persons licensed as members of the Florida Bar residing and practicing law, or maintaining an office, in Sarasota County. The fee is $25.00 annually, and the tax is used to fund the Sarasota County Law Library.

Business Tax
The Sarasota County Board of County Commissioners voted to repeal the County Business Tax July 9, 2024; therefore, the County Business Tax will no longer be collected. Please note that since the Business Tax on Attorneys falls under a special act and funds the Law Library, that tax will continue.

Property Tax
The property tax roll is open for collection November 1st each year and includes both real estate and tangible personal property tax.

Tourist Development Tax
Tourist development tax is due on all properties rented for 6 months or less and is based on the rental receipts of the property; it is due on a monthly basis.

Offices will be closed Dec. 23, 24 and 25 in observance of the holiday.
