Sales tax in Freeborn County, Minnesota

What is the sales tax rate in Freeborn County?

Why the rate here is not the whole story

Minnesota's state rate is 6.875 percent and local sales taxes are not automatic. A city or a county has to get specific authority from the Legislature and then win a local referendum, so the local layer is assembled one jurisdiction at a time and the county line is frequently not the tax boundary. Freeborn County itself levies a 0.5 percent Freeborn Transit sales tax, which reaches every address in the county. No city in the county levies a tax of its own today, so the combined rate is a uniform 7.375 percent, and that uniformity is a fact about today rather than a rule. Clothing is exempt from Minnesota sales tax at every rate shown here, which is unusual among states and changes none of the rates. Use the department's Sales Tax Rate Calculator for a specific address rather than a single county figure. Collected from the guide effective 2026-10-01, which is the only edition the department publishes; the Q3 URL now returns 404. A city tax in this county runs until 2026-09-30, so this record describes the rate from October 1 rather than today. Re-collect after that date to make it current, and treat the range as provisional until then.
