Where Smithfield customers come from

By the 1991-2020 normals of the Crestwood weather station (9 miles from Smithfield), July highs average 88°F and January lows average 23°F. About 53 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in May. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 105 times a year. With this much rain, roofing, gutters and drainage work never run out of calls, often after a storm. Seasonal updates helps: winter hours, summer specials, storm-season notices, sent by email and included in the monthly fee.

Writing a website for Smithfield residents

Henry County had 16,447 residents in 2025 and 5 incorporated municipalities. Census estimates for a city this size carry a wide margin of error, so the county is the better guide: the median household income is $63,347 and the median age is 41.0. Broadband reaches 83.7% of homes, and 20.6% of households are online only through a phone plan. 76.3% of households own their home.

Paperwork and rules for Kentucky businesses online

A few rules apply to any Smithfield business that sells or advertises online:

• 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

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your city hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
