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 1 percent countywide. The floor of 3.9 percent is state plus county in unincorporated areas with no city and no district. The ceiling of 8.9 percent is at Fairplay, on top of a health services district.
How do I find the exact rate for an address in Park County?
Use Colorado's own address lookup. In Park County the rate depends on the address, anywhere from 3.9% to 8.9%.
