Sales tax in Crawford County, Kansas

By Brent Chudoba, editor Updated

There is no single sales tax rate in Crawford County. It runs from 7.5% to 10.75% depending on the exact address, because cities and special districts inside the county levy their own on top of the 6.5% state rate. The 6.5% state rate applies everywhere in the county; everything above that depends on where you are standing. These rates were read from Kansas's own published schedule and checked on October 1, 2026.

Why the rate here is not the whole story

Kansas charges 6.5 percent statewide on general merchandise and then stacks a county rate, city rates and community improvement or transportation development 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 7.5 percent is state plus county in unincorporated areas with no city and no district tax. The ceiling of 10.75 percent is at Frontenac Harbor Freight CID, a community improvement or transportation development district that covers a single development rather than a town, so it applies only to the street addresses the state lists for it and not to the surrounding city. Kansas finished phasing its state rate on qualifying food down to 0 percent on January 1 2025, so groceries pay only the local part of these rates, but the figures here are the general merchandise rates.

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

Use Kansas's own address lookup. In Crawford County the rate depends on the address, anywhere from 7.5% to 10.75%.

Who has to collect sales tax in Crawford County?

Any seller with a physical presence in Kansas collects at the rate for the address of the sale; a remote seller does once it passes Kansas's economic nexus threshold. Kansas sales tax covers the statewide rules and what is exempt.
