Children under 5 are 22.8% of the population, a sign of many young families. Pediatric care, child care and family services compete hard for these parents online.

12.8% of Olivet adults are veterans (6.8% in Kansas). If you give service members or veterans any special terms, say so on the website, not only at the counter.

What Kansas asks of a business with a website

Having a website does not change the rules, but these apply to many Olivet businesses:

• Kansas levies a state sales tax of 6.5% on retail sales of tangible personal property and taxable services, and cities and counties add local sales taxes on top of it. Kansas Department of Revenue
• A contact form collects personal information, and Kansas has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. K.S.A. 50-7a02 (Security breach; requirements)

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your city hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
