A web designer’s view of Jennings’ businesses

Some of the business types in Pawnee County, from the 2023 County Business Patterns:

• Insurance agencies, 9 in the count. What works online: the lines you write (auto, home, business, life), the carriers you work with and a quote request form.

In that trade, members and newcomers look for schedules and contacts; a good site gives customers meeting times, programs, location and how to get involved. For any of them, a clear website is the difference between being compared and being skipped.

Oklahoma rules to know before your website goes live

These are some of the Oklahoma and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• Out-of-state sellers have to collect Oklahoma sales tax once they reach the state threshold: More than $100,000 in Oklahoma taxable sales in the preceding or current calendar year (marketplace sales on which the facilitator collects Oklahoma tax are not counted toward the seller’s threshold). 68 O.S. § 1392
• Oklahoma’s state sales and use tax rate is 4.5% of gross receipts from the sale or rental of tangible personal property, and counties and municipalities add their own rates. Since August 2024, food and food ingredients are exempt from the 4.5% state rate but still subject to local rates. Oklahoma Tax Commission

Rules change and details vary by business; this is general information, not legal advice.
