Before you publish: North Dakota and federal rules
A few rules apply to any Kensal business that sells or advertises online:
- North Dakota’s state sales tax rate is 5% for most retail sales, and cities and counties may levy their own sales and use taxes on top of it. North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner
- Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance
Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.
Common questions about a website in Kensal
Is a website worth it for a business in a city of 146 people?
Your customers come from all of Stutsman County, not only Kensal: the county has 636 businesses with employees and 1,486 without (2023). The website is what they find when they search.
Can the website mention Glenfield, Pingree and the other towns I cover?
Yes. Send the list of towns you serve by email (Glenfield, Pingree, Spiritwood Lake or any others) and the website gets a service area page with all of them.
Can my website say that the business is veteran-owned?
Yes. Send the text by email; the About page and the homepage are natural places for it.
Can customers buy from my website?
Yes. The plan can be an online store with a catalog, shopping cart and online payment, for the same $89 a month. Collecting sales tax is your responsibility: North Dakota’s state rate is 5%, and local taxes may apply.
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.
