What Alabama asks of a business with a website

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

  • Local business tax receipts in Alabama can come from the county and, inside city or town limits, from the municipality: for you, Marengo County and Linden. Official source
  • 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
  • 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

Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.

Common questions about a website in Linden

Can my hours and prices change with the season?

Yes. Send the new hours, prices or seasonal services by email; content changes are part of the $89 monthly fee.

Can I mention that we serve military families?

Yes. Send the text by email; the About page and the homepage are natural places for it.

Linden is small. Do I really need a website?

Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Marengo County counts 1,151 nonemployer businesses and 446 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Linden is the point of the website.

Is there a setup fee?

No. No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website. There is no lock-in contract either: you can end the service whenever you need.
