Across Wasco County, County Business Patterns counted 735 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 1,600 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Wasco County has 2.6 times the national share of hotels, inns and other lodging: 16 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, travelers compare rooms, rates and location, so the website should show rooms with real photos, amenities, location and how to reserve by email or through your booking channel. Social assistance and child care providers are also overrepresented (30, 1.7 times the national share).

Oregon and federal rules for small business websites

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• A trade name has to be your legal name or an assumed business name (ABN) registered with Oregon. ORS Chapter 648 (Assumed Business Names); OAR 160.010
• Oregon has no general sales or use/transaction tax, so there is nothing to collect on ordinary online sales. The only close relatives are the vehicle use tax and vehicle privilege tax on new vehicles. Oregon Department of Revenue

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your city hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
