, the state of Florida contains 29 toll roads, 8 tolled express lanes, and 13 toll bridges totaling .
Toll roads in the state can be operated by the state government (through Florida's Turnpike Enterprise), a local tolling authority (such as Central Florida Expressway Authority, Greater Miami Expressway Agency, or Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority), or a county government. Toll roads that are part of the Florida State Highway System (i.e. are numbered state roads) have a unique shield indicating their status as toll roads.
Almost all toll facilities Florida accept payment via toll-by-plate or electronic toll collection (ETC). There are three ETC systems in Florida: SunPass (operated by Florida's Turnpike Enterprise), E-PASS (operated by Central Florida Expressway Authority), and LeeWay (operated by Lee County). These systems are fully interoperable within Florida, though support for and by ETC systems in other states (such as E-ZPass) varies. Cash tolls in the state have been phased out on all toll roads and all but three toll bridges.

All express lanes in the state utilize open road tolling, requiring the use of a SunPass-compatible transponder. Toll-by-plate is supported only by the Lee Roy Selmon Reversible Express Lanes (SR 618A); on all other highways, drivers without a transponder are subject to a fine.
Toll bridges and causeways Bridges and causeways use open-road tolling and toll-by-plate unless otherwise specified. Listed base tolls are for two-axle vehicles paid by a supported transponder (usually SunPass, E-Pass, or LeeWay) Bridge/CausewayLengthS/W TerminusN/E TerminusCrossingOpenedBase tollNotes Bob Sikes BridgeCR 399 in Pensacola BeachUS 98 in Gulf BreezeSanta Rosa Sound1973$1.00Operated by the Santa Rosa Island AuthorityOnly tolled southbound Broad CausewayUS 1 in North MiamiSR A1A in SurfsideBiscayne Bay1951$1.50Operated by the Bay Harbor Islands municipality Cape Coral BridgeDel Prado Boulevard in Cape CoralSR 867 in McGregorCaloosahatchee River1997$2.00Operated by Lee CountyOnly tolled westbound Card Sound BridgeCR 905 in North Key LargoUS 1 in Florida CityCard Sound1926$2.08Operated by the Card Sound Toll Authority Garcon Point BridgeUS 98 in MidwayCR 191 in Garcon PointEast Bay1999$2.30Operated by Florida's Turnpike Enterprise Boca Grande CausewayGulf Shores Drive near Boca GrandePlacida Road near PlacidaGasparilla Sound1958$6.00Operated by the Gasparilla Island Bridge AuthorityOnly tolled southboundCash onlyHammock Dunes BridgePalm Harbor Drive in Palm CoastSR A1A in Hammock DunesMatanzas River1988$3.00Operated by the Dunes Community Development DistrictOnly tolled eastboundCash only Mid-Bay BridgeUS 98 near DestinSR 20 near Bluewater BayChoctawhatchee Bay1993$3.00Operated by the Mid-Bay Bridge AuthorityAccepts cash Midpoint Memorial BridgeDel Prado Boulevard in Cape CoralSR 867 in Fort MyersCaloosahatchee River1997$2.00Operated by Lee CountyOnly tolled westbound Pinellas BaywayS: Anderson Boulevard in Fort De Soto ParkE: Leeland Street in Bayway IslesW: SR 699 in St. Pete BeachS: Shores Boulevard in Tierra VerdeE: I-275/US 19 in St. PetersburgW: Bahia Del Mar Boulevard in St. PetersburgBoca Ciega Bay1962S: $0.28W/E: $0.58Operated by the Florida Department of TransportationSystem of three toll bridges, each tolled only one way Rickenbacker CausewayUS 1 in North MiamiHarbor Drive in Key BiscayneBiscayne Bay1947$2.25Operated by Miami-Dade CountyOnly tolled southboundSanibel CausewayPeriwinkle Way in SanibelCR 867 in Punta RassaSan Carlos Bay1963$6.00Operated by Lee CountyOnly tolled westbound Sunshine Skyway BridgeUS 19 near Terra CeiaPinellas Point Drive in St. PetersburgLower Tampa Bay1987$1.16Operated by the Florida Department of TransportationVenetian CausewayUS 1 in MiamiSR 907 in Miami BeachBiscayne Bay1925$2.25Operated by Miami-Dade County
