I have a home based craft business and I will be selling through my website and at craft fairs. I need to know if there is a general small business licence that covers internet sales or if a local city licence covers it. Thanks!

contact you state equalization board. Additionally you may need a federal tax id

I have a business like this in Wisconsin, all I needed was a mobile sellers permit to do the craft shows and to sell out of my home by mail. It cost $15 and renews for free automatically every year. Once a year (January) I send in any sales tax collected.
I sell in PA and have a show coming up in IL. Pennsylvania only required a mobile sellers permit also, which was $10 and renews for free every year. I file every 6 months for the sales tax collected. Most states are like this.
However IL on the other hand said theirs is free, but I have to file sales tax every month--if I only do one show, to send in the tax after that before the end of the next month, but to call and have them de-activate the license till I need it again for their state.
Check with your department of revenue, they'll let you know what you need.

Yes, if your kind of business is illegal to operate in your community = yes, you can get in trouble for doing it.... - it doesn't matter what it is there for, you aren't allowed to run it from your house in your community. You have several options = go get a mailbox in a nearby city that allows it or work with the city council in your area to get the law updated.
