Sales tax in Cheyenne County, Colorado

Updated

There is no single sales tax rate in Cheyenne County. It runs from 2.9% to 4.9% depending on the exact address, because cities and special districts inside the county levy their own on top of the 2.9% state rate. The 2.9% state rate applies everywhere in the county; everything above that depends on where you are standing.

Why the rate here is not the whole story

Colorado charges 2.9 percent statewide and then stacks a county rate, city rates and special district rates whose boundaries do not follow county lines, so a single rate for the whole county does not exist. The county itself levies no sales tax. The floor of 2.9 percent is state plus county in unincorporated areas with no city and no district. The ceiling of 4.9 percent is at Cheyenne Wells.

How do I find the exact rate for an address in Cheyenne County?

Because the rate changes within the county, an address is the only way to get it right. Use Colorado's own lookup. A vendor's calculator is not the state speaking.

Who has to collect sales tax in Cheyenne County?

A seller with a physical presence in Colorado collects at the rate for the address where the sale takes place. A remote seller collects once it passes Colorado'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.
