Before you publish: Georgia and federal rules

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

  • A Georgia trade name is not a state filing: it is registered with the Clerk of the Superior Court in the county where the business is located, and the registration must be published in the local legal newspaper once a week for two consecutive weeks. O.C.G.A. 10-1-490
  • Georgia’s state sales and use tax rate is 4%, and every county adds local taxes, so the combined rate is typically 7% to 9%. Georgia Department of Revenue
