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 0.5 percent countywide. The floor of 7 percent is state plus county in unincorporated areas with no city and no district tax. The ceiling of 9 percent is at Blue Rapids. 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.
