Intangible Tax
In 1931, in order to raise revenue the state legislature enacted its first tax on intangible personal property. The most common assets reported on an intangible tax return would be corporate bonds, stocks, mutual funds, brokerage money market accounts and regularly listed or traded limited partnership interest.  If you're not sure whether an asset is taxable, you should check with your tax adviser or broker.
The following items are exempt from intangible tax:

Cash, CD's, annuities, IRA accounts, US Government debt obligations, obligations issued by the State of Florida, its counties, municipalities, or taxing districts, Bank Money Market accounts, Notes secured by a lien on  real property, interest in a general partnership, interest in a limited partnership  not registered with SEC and Franchises.

The tax is assessed at the rate of one mill or $1.00 per $1,000.00 of valuation, based on the value of your assets beginning January 1 of each year.  If the value of your stocks and bonds is more than $100,000.00 an additional one mill for a total of $2.00 per $1,000.00 of valuation is assessed for amounts exceeding $100,000.00.  But, if your stocks, bonds and securities are valued at $20,000.00 ($40,000.00 for a couple filing jointly) or less on January 1, you do not pay any intangible tax for that year.
