• North Carolina files DBAs at COUNTY level: anyone – individual, business or legal entity – doing business under a name other than its own legal name files an assumed business name certificate with the register of deeds. One filing covers all counties, and up to five names may be listed on one certificate; the register of deeds forwards a scanned copy to the Secretary of State’s statewide database. N.C.G.S. Chapter 66, Article 14A
• 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)
