Reading the Osterdock customer
Osterdock is one of 18 municipalities in Clayton County, a county of 16,845 people.

- Full-service restaurants: 7. Their website should show the menu, the dining room, private-event information and the hours, kept current by email.
- Child care centers: 3. Their website should show programs by age, daily routine, your hours and a form for families who want to visit.

Rules that apply to an Osterdock business website
Some homework before launch:
- A person who runs a business under a trade name instead of the owner’s own surname records a verified statement with the county recorder of the county where the business is conducted. Entities already registered with the state (LLC, corporation, LP) are exempt from this county filing. Iowa Code chapter 547 (section 547.1)
- 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
