When Chrisman customers need you: the seasons

Chrisman weather, in normals: July highs around 84°F, January lows around 17°F, measured at Paris Stp, 13 miles away (1991-2020). About 43 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in June. The high reaches 90°F or more on about 19 days a year.

Before you publish: Illinois and federal rules

Selling or advertising online brings no special license, but these apply to most Chrisman businesses:

• Illinois taxes general merchandise at a 6.25% state Retailers’ Occupation Tax rate, with a preferential 1% rate on qualifying drugs and medical appliances; municipalities and counties add local rates. Illinois Department of Revenue
• Illinois has no statewide general business license; cities and counties impose their own taxes and may require zoning permits, so the city or county clerk is the place to check. In Chrisman, that means asking Edgar County and the City of Chrisman. Official source
• Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; Illinois’ is $100,000 or more in cumulative gross receipts from sales of tangible personal property to Illinois purchasers in the 12-month lookback period, tested quarterly. The old 200-transaction test was removed on January 1, 2026. Public Act 104-0006 (Leveling the Playing Field for Illinois Retail Act)
