1. Florida-specific invoice requirements
- Sales tax line: 6.00% state rate. Most services rendered in Florida are exempt from sales tax — but materials, parts, and tangible goods are not. Most services exempt; tangible goods taxable. Local discretionary surtax up to 1.5%.
- Late-fee cap: Florida statute Fla. Stat. §687.03 (usury) caps interest on unpaid invoices at 1.5% per month. Spell out the rate in writing on every invoice and in your contract — courts won't enforce undisclosed fees.
- Written contract required: Florida requires a signed agreement for any job over $2,500. Reference the contract number on the invoice.
- Right-to-cancel notice: Customers in Florida get 72-hour cancellation rights on certain home-services contracts. Disclose this in your terms.
2. Tile Setter line items + standard terms
Every tile setter invoice in Florida should itemize work clearly. Standard tile setters use Net 14 terms with a 33% deposit required upfront.
- Labor — per sqft — billed by sqft (~$12 default).
- Tile material — billed by itemized.
- Substrate prep — billed by itemized.
- Trim & grout — billed by itemized.
3. Tile Setter licensing in Florida
Specialty license in many states. CTI / NTCA certification is industry-recognized.
4. Send and follow up
Send the invoice the same day work completes. Use software that records open events and offers a one-click online payment so you don't need to chase a check by mail. Florida customers expect digital payment options today — accepting card and ACH typically reduces days-to-paid by 30–50%.
