Sales tax in Gila County, Arizona
There is no single sales tax rate in Gila County. It runs from 6.6% to 10.48% depending on the exact address, because cities and special districts inside the county levy their own on top of the 5.6% state rate. The 5.6% state rate applies everywhere in the county; everything above that depends on where you are standing.
What is the sales tax rate in Gila County?
| Arizona state rate | 5.6% |
|---|---|
| Gila County rate | 1% |
| Lowest combined rate in the county | 6.6% |
| Highest combined rate in the county | 10.48% |
The two combined figures are the lowest and highest totals found anywhere inside the county. They are not a state rate plus a county rate added together, and adding the rows above will not reproduce them, because cities and special districts levy in between.
Why the rate here is not the whole story
Arizona has no sales tax in the strict sense. It levies a transaction privilege tax, or TPT, on the seller for the privilege of doing business, and the seller normally passes it on at the register, so it works like a sales tax for a buyer. The state charges 5.6 percent on retail, Gila County adds 1 percent, and cities add their own on top, so a single rate for the whole county does not exist. The floor of 6.6 percent is unincorporated county, outside any city. The ceiling of 10.48 percent is at Payson, where the city adds 3.88 percent. Sales on tribal land report the same state and county rate under the department's reservation region codes, but a tribe may levy its own tax that the department does not collect or publish, so the total there can be higher than the ceiling shown. The department publishes the state and county component in one table and the city component in another and never publishes a combined figure for a location, so the ceiling here is those two published figures added rather than a rate read off the page. Confirm an address on the department's own lookup before charging it.
How do I find the exact rate for an address in Gila County?
Because the rate changes within the county, an address is the only way to get it right. Use Arizona's own lookup. A vendor's calculator is not the state speaking.
Who has to collect sales tax in Gila County?
A seller with a physical presence in Arizona collects at the rate for the address where the sale takes place. A remote seller collects once it passes Arizona's economic nexus threshold, which is a separate question from the rate and is covered on our sales tax nexus checker. Marketplace facilitators generally collect on behalf of their sellers.
