Tax impact of Park City Sales Tax Referendum.

12% paid by residents

88% paid by visitors

88% of sales tax revenue will come from out-of-town visitors shopping in Park City.


  • If approved by voters, the Sales Tax Referendum would increase our sales tax by only 1%, putting us at the same sales tax rate as most other cities in Sedgwick County. The estimated impact on the average Park City resident will be around $2.47 per month. 

  • The Sales Tax Referendum will NOT increase the property tax rate for Park City homeowners or businesses.

  • With passage of the Referendum, the additional revenue from the added sales tax will be paid primarily by visitors to our city. In fact, 88% of the new sales tax revenue will come from these out-of-town visitors spending money in Park City. Only 12% will come from shoppers from in and around Park City.

  • The Park City Sales Tax Referendum will not impact prescription drugs, medical devices, or any food that is used to provide meals for the elderly or homebound. These will be exempt and will not be subject to a sales tax.

  • Park City has policies in place to make sure OUR tax dollars are spent efficiently. Our team of financial professionals will keep a close eye on the spending approved by voters. Our best practices approach has helped City Hall earn high ratings from our auditors for accountability and transparency.
