when i explained our sales tax to a visitor today, she said Ohhhhhhhhh, now i understand...the state sales tax is 6 %, and goes to slc... then each county adds on what they need to cover the expenses that tourists cost us..mostly for police force, who have to protect and watch over a million people a season here, and who we cant lay off in the winter.. so few taxpayers in grand county to meet the infrastructure costs of over a million people, so our county adds on 1.78 %, so the visitor does contribute a lot while here..its the only way it can function...park city is worse, theirs is right at 10% sales tax, fewer taxpayers, more visitors..
