The customers behind the numbers in Jal

Lea County had 74,749 residents in 2025 and 5 incorporated municipalities.

Homeowners are 71.2% of households.

Running a website from Jal: the New Mexico rules

Having a website brings no special license, but a few apply to most Jal businesses:

  • New Mexico has no sales tax as such: it levies a GROSS RECEIPTS TAX on the seller. The state portion is 4.875% and counties and municipalities add their own rates, so the combined rate varies by location (roughly 5.125% to 8.6875%). An out-of-state seller reporting under the out-of-state location code pays the 4.875% statewide rate. New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department
  • 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

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

Common questions about a website in Jal

Can I show customers in Monahans that I cover their area?

Yes. The website can carry a service area section naming Monahans, Goldsmith, Kermit and any other town you cover; you send the list by email.

Do we need to have meetings?

No. Aria is based in Curitiba, Brazil, and works with every client online: material, change requests and questions go by email, and you review the website on a temporary link before it goes live.

Jal is small. Do I really need a website?

Your market is bigger than the city: Lea County has 4,350 nonemployer businesses and 1,730 with employees (2023), and customers search across the whole area. A website is how people outside Jal find you.

Can I change the website when the season changes?

Yes. A short email with the new text is enough, and the change is included in the plan.

Is there a setup fee?

No. No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website. There is no lock-in contract either: you can end the service whenever you need.
