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. Lac qui Parle County levies nothing of its own and no city or township in it levies anything either, so every address in the county is at the bare 6.875 percent state rate. Both zeros are confirmed: the department's rate guide lists every local tax in Minnesota and this county appears nowhere in it. 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.
