Higher sales tax rate goes into effect

By Staff Report - | Oct 1, 2007

A new 3/4 percent sales tax goes into effect beginning today in Tonganoxie.

The tax, approved by voters earlier this year, will pay for a new municipal swimming pool and improvements to Pleasant Street. It will be in effect for 10 years and is expected to raise $3 million during that time.

The increase raises the sales tax rate to 8.05 percent.
