What makes Norwood different, and what your website should do about it

16.9% of Norwood workers work from home, compared with 10.2% across Kentucky. Home workers can meet a contractor at 2 p.m., and they prefer email to phone tag. A detailed contact form fits people who would rather type than talk.

The nearest NOAA station with 1991-2020 climate normals, Louisville Bowman Field, is 3.3 miles from Norwood. It records an average high of 88°F in July and an average low of 27°F in January. Precipitation totals about 48 inches a year, with May the wettest month. About 38 days a year hit 90°F or more.

Kentucky rules to know before your website goes live

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

• Out-of-state sellers have to collect Kentucky sales tax once they reach the state threshold: 200 or more sales into Kentucky, or $100,000 or more in gross receipts from sales into Kentucky. Kentucky still keeps the 200-transaction test. KRS 139.340(2)(g)
• Kentucky sales and use tax is 6% of gross receipts, and there are no local sales and use taxes anywhere in the state. Kentucky Department of Revenue
