Alabama rules to know before your website goes live

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Alabama rules as any other.

• Alabama’s state sales and use tax rate on general merchandise is 4%, with a reduced 2% rate on food and groceries since September 1, 2025; cities and counties add their own rates. Alabama Department of Revenue
• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
• Alabama business privilege licenses are issued at county level; the state Department of Revenue coordinates state and county business privilege licenses, and the county probate office issues them. In Gaylesville, that means asking Cherokee County and the Town of Gaylesville. Official source
