• 15 new car dealers: brand pages, service department hours and contact forms for sales and service.
• 40 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors: maintenance plans, the brands you service and a request form that works on a phone.
• 29 child care centers: programs by age, daily routine, your hours and a form for families who want to visit.

County-wide, Dubuque County counts 2,804 businesses with employees and 7,055 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). Dubuque County has 2.3 times the national share of metal fabrication shops: 41 of them in the 2023 count.

What Iowa asks of a business with a website

These are some of the Iowa and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• Iowa’s state sales tax rate is 6%, and many cities and counties add a 1% local option sales tax on top of it. Iowa Department of Revenue
• Out-of-state sellers have to collect Iowa sales tax once they reach the state threshold: $100,000 or more in gross revenue from Iowa sales in the immediately preceding or the current calendar year. There is no transaction-count test. Iowa Code 423.14A(3)(a)

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