Iowa rules to know before your website goes live

Some homework before launch:

• The Iowa Consumer Data Protection Act rarely reaches a local business: Businesses doing business in Iowa or targeting Iowa residents that, in a calendar year, control or process personal data of at least 100,000 consumers, or of at least 25,000 consumers while deriving over 50% of gross revenue from selling personal data. A typical small website or online store is far below both thresholds and is outside the law. Iowa Code chapter 715D (SF 262, 2023)
• 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
