Some homework before launch:

• 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
• 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

This is general information, not legal advice; check with the North Dakota agencies, Ramsey County, the city of Starkweather or an attorney.
