The legal basics for Davis City businesses online

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

  • Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; Iowa’s is $100,000 or more in gross revenue from Iowa sales in the immediately preceding or the current calendar year. There is no transaction-count test. Iowa Code 423.14A(3)(a)
  • 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

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

Questions from Davis City business owners

Can my website list the towns around Davis City that I serve?

Yes. The website can carry a service area section naming Leon, Lamoni, Blythedale and any other town you cover; you send the list by email.

Is a website worth it for a business in a city of 178 people?

Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Decatur County counts 559 nonemployer businesses and 146 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Davis City is the point of the website.

Can the website be an online store?

Yes, for the same $89 a month: catalog, cart and online payment. Remember that sales tax applies; Iowa’s state rate is 6%, and local taxes may apply.

Is there a setup fee?

No. No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website. There is no lock-in contract either: you can end the service whenever you need.
