Sales Tax Registration: State-by-State Guide

Sales Tax Registration applies to any business selling taxable goods or services in the state. Who issues it is the first thing that changes at the state line — sometimes a state agency, often a city or county. Each state page below names the office we verified for that state, or says plainly that we could not.

51 jurisdictions with a named state issuer.

What varies: whether the state has a sales tax at all (five do not), the economic nexus threshold, the sourcing rule, and the filing calendar.

Choose your state

Every figure below was located on that state's own government page by machine, and the page it came from is linked on the state's page along with the date it was checked. "Not verified" means exactly that — no government page we hold has been shown to state it, so we publish nothing. It does not mean the fee is zero.
