California rules to know before your website goes live

A few rules apply to any Artesia business that sells or advertises online:

• Under ADA Title III, a business open to the public should make its website usable by people with disabilities, according to the Justice Department’s guidance. ADA.gov guidance
• California’s statewide sales and use tax rate is 7.25%, and most areas add district taxes of roughly 0.10% to 2.00% on top of it. California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA)
• Cities and counties issue the local business license or business tax certificate; the state’s CalGOLD tool lists the permits a given business needs at a given address. In Artesia, that means asking Los Angeles County and the City of Artesia. Official source
• Doing business under a name that is not your legal name? California calls that a fictitious business name (FBN), and it has to be registered first. California Business and Professions Code section 17900 et seq.
• Newsletters and promotions sent from your business email must include a working way to unsubscribe (16 CFR Part 316). 16 CFR Part 316
