Why the rate here is not the whole story

Idaho's state sales tax is 6 percent and Idaho counties have no authority to levy a general sales tax at all, so this county's own rate is a confirmed zero. Idaho Code section 50-1044 gives the power to resort cities only, meaning a city of 10,000 or fewer people that derives the major portion of its economic well being from businesses catering to visitors, and section 50-1046 requires 60 percent voter approval before a city may adopt one. Section 50-1048 speaks of what would follow "in the event that counties are given local-option nonproperty tax authority", which is the legislature saying plainly that they have not been. 3 cities in Teton County levy a local option tax and all three reach general merchandise. Victor adds 1 percent to all applicable sales while Driggs and Tetonia each add half a percent to retail sales, so the combined rate runs from 6 percent in the unincorporated county to 7 percent in Victor. All three also charge much higher rates on lodging, 8 percent in Driggs and Victor and 5 percent in Tetonia, plus separate rates on liquor by the drink and prepared food. Those are taxes on lodging and meals and are not part of the range above. The Driggs and Tetonia ordinances took effect January 1, 2026 and Victor's current 8 percent lodging rate took effect under Ordinance O642 in November 2025. Idaho does not exempt groceries. Food is taxed at the full 6 percent and residents instead claim a food tax credit on their Idaho income tax return, worth $155 per person for 2025 or up to $250 if receipts for sales tax paid on food are submitted, so a grocery receipt in Idaho carries tax that a shopper gets back once a year rather than at the register.
