North Dakota and federal rules for small business websites

Some homework before launch:

• 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
• A contact form collects personal information, and North Dakota has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. N.D.C.C. ch. 51-30 (Notice of Security Breach for Personal Information), § 51-30-02
