Monticello weather, in normals: July highs around 82°F, January lows around 11°F, measured at Monroe Wwtp, 11 miles away (1991-2020).

Before you publish: Wisconsin and federal rules

These are some of the Wisconsin and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• Wisconsin’s state sales and use tax is 5%. Most counties add 0.5% (Milwaukee County 0.9%) and the city of Milwaukee adds 2%. Wisconsin Department of Revenue
• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465

General information, not legal advice: confirm the details with the agency that handles each item.
