Sales Tax

Sales tax is a large component of the City’s tax-based revenues.  Sales tax is levied on the sale of consumer goods (except most food products and services) and construction.  The amount of revenue generated by sales tax fluctuates from year to year due to changes in the economy, buying habits of consumers, and the level of construction taking place within the City.  The City receives sales tax collections two months after they are paid at the source.
