Maryland rules to know before your website goes live

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

• The Maryland Online Data Privacy Act (MODPA) exists, but its thresholds are high: Businesses doing business in Maryland or targeting Maryland residents that, in the preceding calendar year, controlled or processed the personal data of at least 35,000 consumers (excluding data processed solely to complete a payment transaction), or of at least 10,000 consumers while deriving more than 20% of gross revenue from selling personal data. Maryland’s 35,000-consumer threshold is the lowest in the country, so a small business with a real Maryland customer base can be caught — a local service business or small store usually stays below it, but a site with tens of thousands of Maryland visitors whose data it processes should check. Md. Code, Commercial Law §§14-4701 et seq., Subtitle 47 (SB 541 / HB 567, 2024)
• Maryland’s sales and use tax rate is 6% (6 cents on each dollar). There are no local sales taxes in Maryland. Comptroller of Maryland
