A Big Win for Florida Tenants and Business Owners
Starting October 1, 2025, the State of Florida will eliminate sales tax on lease payments for both commercial and residential properties. This significant change comes as part of a broader legislative effort to reduce costs and simplify lease agreements statewide.
Whether you’re a business leasing office space or a landlord managing multiple properties, this new law will have a direct impact on your bottom line.
What This Means for You
Florida’s repeal of the sales tax on lease payments offers several key benefits for tenants and business owners alike:
-
Lower overall leasing costs – Monthly rent will no longer include sales tax, resulting in direct savings.
-
Simplified lease terms – Lease agreements may be easier to structure without the added tax calculations.
-
More budget flexibility – Business owners and tenants may reallocate funds to growth, operations, or savings.
Why This Matters Now
If you currently lease commercial space—or are planning to—now is a great time to review your lease agreement and understand how this change will impact your financial planning. For landlords, it’s also an opportunity to reassess lease structures and communicate these savings to tenants.
