Title	Taxes by County
Created	Sunday, Dec. 17, 2006
Content	Over the last several years, a lot of our merchants have requested the ability to calculate taxes by County rather than, or in addition to by Zipcode. We have done a lot of research regarding this ability, and have determined that it is not feasible to implement such a feature at this time. First, it would require a huge database of counties and their corresponding zip+4 codes. Secondly, boundaries within counties tend to change on a fairly regular basis, and without direct communication with the State and County agencies it would be next to impossible to determine the proper tax code to use and keep up with the changes. We certainly do value suggestions from our customer base, and we try our best to implement them based on the costs that are involved as well as the benefit to our merchants, unfortunately the costs as well as the upkeep would keep us from implementing such a feature. Have a great week and a safe Holiday Season! Sean Guy Director of Customer Service StoresOnline, Inc.
