Iowa rules to know before your website goes live

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

• A contact form collects personal information, and Iowa has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. Iowa Code 715C.2 (Personal Information Security Breach Protection)
• Iowa’s state sales tax rate is 6%, and many cities and counties add a 1% local option sales tax on top of it. Iowa Department of Revenue
