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

• If you send marketing email from your new business address, the CAN-SPAM rules (16 CFR Part 316) apply, including an easy way for people to opt out. 16 CFR Part 316
• Counties, cities and towns may levy a business, professional and occupational license (BPOL) tax; the license fee itself is capped at $100 in localities over 50,000 people, $50 between 25,000 and 50,000, and $30 below 25,000. In Boyce, that means asking Clarke County and the Town of Boyce. Va. Code Section 58.1-3703 (BPOL)
• Virginia’s state retail sales tax rate is 4.3%. A 1% local tax applies statewide, so the general rate is 5.3% almost everywhere, and some regions add a further 0.7% or more. Virginia Department of Taxation
