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 3.6 percent countywide. Every location code the state publishes inside this county carries the same 6.5 percent total.
