Why It Matters in Jensen Beach

Keeping the books in Jensen Beach

Much of the local business activity runs along US 1 near Treasure Coast Square, a Simon shopping center in Jensen Beach, and along the older downtown streets near the lagoon. Since Jensen Beach is not a city, local business paperwork goes through Martin County. Sales tax here is 6.5%, which is lower than the 7% rate in neighboring St. Lucie and Indian River counties.

That rate difference matters if you sell into more than one county. Your books need to show where each sale was delivered so you collect and report the right surtax. Clean monthly records also make your tax return easier, since the numbers are already reconciled when it is time to file.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions Jensen Beach business owners ask about bookkeeping.

What is the sales tax rate in Jensen Beach?
It is 6.5%: the 6% state rate plus Martin County's 0.5% surtax. The county's school surtax expired at the end of 2025, so check that your invoices no longer charge 7%. Confirm current rates with the Florida Department of Revenue.
Do I have to meet with you in person?
No. Most clients work with Brian by phone, email and secure upload. Jensen Beach owners usually grant read-only access to their bank feeds and send receipts by upload, so there is no need to drive north.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need. The first call is free, and Brian quotes the work before anything starts.
My books are a year behind. Can you catch them up?
Yes. Brian rebuilds the records from bank statements and receipts, however far back they go, then keeps them current each month.
Do I need to file a Sunbiz annual report?
Yes, if you have a Florida corporation or LLC. It is due to the Florida Department of State by May 1, and the late fee is $400.
