Illinois and federal rules for small business websites
Having a website brings no special license, but a few apply to many Rockbridge businesses:
- Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance
- 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 Rockbridge, that means asking Greene County and the Village of Rockbridge. Official source
