Pennsylvania rules to know before your website goes live

Having a website brings no special license, but these apply to many Montoursville businesses:

• Under ADA Title III, a business open to the public should make its website usable by people with disabilities, according to the Justice Department’s guidance. ADA.gov guidance
• Any individual, sole proprietorship, corporation, partnership or other entity conducting business in Pennsylvania under a name other than its own real or proper name must register that fictitious name with the Pennsylvania Department of State (Form DSCB:54-311, $70). If an individual is listed on the registration, newspaper advertising is also required. Registration creates no exclusive right to the name, and failing to register can bar the business from enforcing contracts in Pennsylvania courts (54 Pa.C.S. § 331). Fictitious Names Act of 1982, 54 Pa.C.S. §§ 301 et seq. (registration under § 311)
• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
• The Pennsylvania sales tax rate is 6 percent. Only two local add-ons exist: 1 percent in Allegheny County and 2 percent in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania Department of Revenue
• Municipal requirements are separate: check with the local municipality about taxes, zoning requirements, local licenses and permits. In Montoursville, that means asking Lycoming County and the Borough of Montoursville. Official source
