What makes Adel different, and what your website should do about it

Adel is on Interstate 75, so some of the people looking for food, fuel, lodging and repairs are just passing through. Highway traffic also brings freight: trucking, repair, towing and parts suppliers work for customers from far away. A page with the services, the hours and a map is all a driver has time for.

Georgia rules to know before your website goes live

Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but these apply to many Adel businesses:

  • Georgia’s state sales and use tax rate is 4%, and every county adds local taxes, so the combined rate is typically 7% to 9%. Georgia Department of Revenue
  • 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
  • Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; Georgia’s is more than $100,000 in gross revenue from Georgia retail sales in the previous or current calendar year, or 200 or more separate retail sales. Policy Bulletin SUT-2019-02
  • 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

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your city hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
