Hamilton County has 1.4 times the national share of social assistance and child care providers: 713 of them in the 2023 count.

Ohio and federal rules for small business websites

Some homework before launch:

• Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; Ohio’s is Gross receipts greater than $100,000 OR at least 200 transactions in the current or previous calendar year (in effect since August 1, 2019). Am. Sub. H.B. 166 (2019)
• Ohio’s state sales tax rate is 5.75%. Counties and regional transit authorities may each levy sales tax in increments of 0.05% up to 1.5%, and the combined state, county and transit rate cannot exceed 8.75%. Ohio Department of Taxation
• 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

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