What the Census counts in Norcross

Before you publish: Minnesota and federal rules

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

• Doing business under a name that is not your legal name? Minnesota calls that an assumed name (certificate of assumed name), and it has to be registered first. Minn. Stat. 333.01
• Minnesota’s state sales tax is 6.875%: a 6.5% general rate plus the 0.375% increase required by the Minnesota Constitution. Cities, counties and special districts add local sales taxes on top of it. Minnesota Department of Revenue

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