California rules to know before your website goes live

Some homework before launch:

• Cities and counties issue the local business license or business tax certificate; the state’s CalGOLD tool lists the permits a given business needs at a given address. In Rohnert Park, that means asking Sonoma County and the City of Rohnert Park. Official source
• California’s statewide sales and use tax rate is 7.25%, and most areas add district taxes of roughly 0.10% to 2.00% on top of it. California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA)
• The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA) rarely reaches a local business: For-profit businesses doing business in California that meet any one of three tests: gross annual revenue over $25 million; buying, selling or sharing the personal information of 100,000 or more California residents or households; or deriving 50% or more of annual revenue from selling California residents’ personal information. A typical small business (a local service company with a brochure site or a small store) meets none of them and is outside the CCPA – but CalOPPA still requires a privacy policy (see outras_leis_site).
