Cove City weather and a seasonal business

Climate normals for 1991-2020 from Kinston, 13 miles away, put the July average high at 90°F and the January average low at 31°F. About 53 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year. The high reaches 90°F or more on about 45 days a year, and the low falls to freezing or below on about 66 days. With this much rain, roofing, gutters and drainage work never run out of calls, often on short notice. Plan the website around your busy season: a short email with the new text is all it takes.

Before you publish: North Carolina and federal rules

Some homework before launch:

• The general State sales and use tax rate is 4.75%, and counties add local and transit rates on top of it. North Carolina Department of Revenue (NCDOR)
• Under ADA Title III, a business open to the public should make its website usable by people with disabilities, according to the Justice Department’s guidance. ADA.gov guidance
• Local business tax receipts in North Carolina can come from the county and, inside city or town limits, from the municipality: for you, Craven County and Cove City. Official source
