Across Mayes County, County Business Patterns counted 833 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 2,843 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Mayes County has four times the national share of metal fabrication shops: 21 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, buyers look for capabilities and tolerances, so the website should show capabilities, equipment, materials, certifications and a request-for-quote form. Next on the list: religious, civic and membership organizations, 62 of them, at twice the national share. The jobs Locust Grove residents hold are mostly in education, health care and social assistance (23.9%) and retail trade (15.0%).

The legal basics for Locust Grove businesses online

Having a website does not change the rules, but a few apply to many Locust Grove businesses:

• A contact form collects personal information, and Oklahoma has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. Security Breach Notification Act, 24 O.S. §§ 161 to 166 (Laws 2008, c. 86; amended by Laws 2025, c. 406, effective January 1, 2026)
• 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
