Bishop since the 2020 Census

What kind of businesses Bishop has

ZIP code 30621, which covers Bishop and the area around it, had 91 business establishments with employees in 2023. Here is part of that mix, with what each website should show:

  • 6 electrical contractors: residential and commercial services on separate pages, license information and a quote form.
  • 4 insurance agencies: a page per type of coverage, the agents and a contact form that sends quote requests to your email.
  • 4 real estate offices: market areas, how you work with buyers and sellers and a contact form.

County-wide, Oconee County counts 1,458 businesses with employees and 4,635 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). Oconee County has 1.6 times the national share of medical, dental and therapy practices: 192 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, patients check providers and insurance first, so the website should show providers, services, insurance accepted and how to request an appointment. The county also has a strong cluster of real estate businesses (107 establishments, 1.5 times the national share). Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.

Georgia rules to know before your website goes live

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Georgia rules as any other.

  • 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
  • Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses open to the public must make their goods and services accessible to people with disabilities, and the Justice Department’s guidance says that includes their websites. ADA.gov guidance
