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. Pope County levies nothing of its own and that zero is confirmed on the department's rate guide rather than missing. Glenwood is the only jurisdiction in the county with a local tax, a 0.5 percent city sales tax, so the rate is 7.375 percent inside Glenwood and 6.875 percent everywhere else in the county. 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.
