The legal basics for Floodwood businesses online

Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but a few apply to most Floodwood businesses:

  • Minnesota’s state sales tax is 6.875%: a 6.5% general rate plus the 0.375% increase required by the Minnesota Constitution. Cities, counties and special districts add local sales taxes on top of it. Minnesota Department of Revenue
  • A contact form collects personal information, and Minnesota has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. Minn. Stat. 325E.61

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