Alabama rules to know before your website goes live

Some homework before launch:

• Alabama has no mandatory statewide DBA filing. A trade name may be registered with the Secretary of State’s Trademarks Division, and rights also arise from adoption and use under Alabama common law. Official source
• Alabama business privilege licenses are issued at county level; the state Department of Revenue coordinates state and county business privilege licenses, and the county probate office issues them. In Moody, that means asking St. Clair County and the City of Moody. Official source
• Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance
• Alabama’s state sales and use tax rate on general merchandise is 4%, with a reduced 2% rate on food and groceries since September 1, 2025; cities and counties add their own rates. Alabama Department of Revenue
