Running a website from Yamhill: the Oregon rules

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Oregon rules as any other.

• A contact form collects personal information, and Oregon has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. Oregon Consumer Information Protection Act (OCIPA), ORS 646A.600 to 646A.628
• 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
