Before you build: what Covington looks like from a business owner’s chair

Mining, oil and gas matter in Garfield County: 47 establishments with employees in the 2023 count, far more than the national share. Crews from out of town look for services from a phone, on short notice. Say clearly the area you cover, what equipment you run and how to request work.

The customers behind the numbers in Covington

Garfield County: 61,779 residents (2025) in 14 incorporated places. At the county level, where the estimates are more precise: households have a median income of $66,182, and half the residents are older than 36.0. Broadband reaches 87.0% of homes, and 14.6% of households are online only through a phone plan. 66.0% of households own their home.

Reaching customers beyond the Covington town limits

Distances from Covington: Douglas (5.5 miles), Fairmont (7.4 miles) and Garber (8.9 miles). There are 17 incorporated cities and towns within 25 miles of Covington. For big-city shopping and services, Enid (50,297 residents) is 17 miles away. The county seat, Enid, is 17 miles northwest. The town spreads over 0.5 square miles of land, with roughly 926 people per square mile. Naming Garber, Marshall and the other places you cover on a service area page tells customers outside Covington that you work there too.

When Covington customers need you: the seasons

Climate normals for 1991-2020 from Perry, 17 miles away, put the July average high at 95°F and the January average low at 25°F. Precipitation totals about 36 inches a year, with May the wettest month. About 81 days a year hit 90°F or more. Heat sets the rhythm: outdoor work starts early, indoor businesses get busier in the afternoon, and emergency calls spike in the hottest weeks. If you offer emergency or same-week service in bad weather, state it clearly and keep the contact form short.

Covington by the numbers

Census estimates put Covington at 471 in 2020 and 466 in 2025, a stable town. Statewide, the change was +4.1%. When the population is steady, businesses grow by taking customers from competitors, and the website is often where that choice happens.

Local competition in Covington

From the 2023 county count for Garfield County:

• Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors (28): maintenance plans, the brands you service and a request form that works on a phone.
• Quick-service restaurants (46): the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.
• Law offices (35): practice areas in plain words, the attorneys and a contact form for consultations.
• Veterinary clinics (11): services, hours, the team and a contact form for appointment requests.
• Hardware stores (6): departments, store hours and services such as key cutting or rentals.
• Dental offices (23): insurance plans, new-patient information and a map to the office.

Garfield County as a whole had 1,532 employer establishments in 2023 and another 4,534 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Garfield County has far more than the national share of oilfield and mining support companies: 33 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, field crews and operators hire on short notice, so the website should show services by type, equipment, certifications and the area you cover.

Oklahoma rules to know before your website goes live

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

• Out-of-state sellers have to collect Oklahoma sales tax once they reach the state threshold: More than $100,000 in Oklahoma taxable sales in the preceding or current calendar year (marketplace sales on which the facilitator collects Oklahoma tax are not counted toward the seller’s threshold). 68 O.S. § 1392
• Oklahoma’s state sales and use tax rate is 4.5% of gross receipts from the sale or rental of tangible personal property, and counties and municipalities add their own rates. Since August 2024, food and food ingredients are exempt from the 4.5% state rate but still subject to local rates. Oklahoma Tax Commission
