Before you publish: Pennsylvania and federal rules

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

• The name on your website and your sign has to be either your legal name or a registered fictitious name. Fictitious Names Act of 1982, 54 Pa.C.S. §§ 301 et seq. (registration under § 311)
• Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance
• 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
• A contact form collects personal information, and Pennsylvania has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. Breach of Personal Information Notification Act, 73 P.S. §§ 2301 to 2329 (Act 94 of 2005, amended by Act 151 of 2022 and Act 33 of 2024)
• Municipal requirements are separate: check with the local municipality about taxes, zoning requirements, local licenses and permits. In Sayre, that means asking Bradford County and the Borough of Sayre. Official source
