Why the rate here is not the whole story
Upshur County levies its own sales tax of 0.5 percent on top of the 6.25 percent state rate, and that part applies countywide. Cities, transit authorities and special purpose districts add more in the places they cover, so the total depends on the address rather than the county. The low end of 6.75 percent is what applies where no city and no partial special purpose district reaches; the high end of 8.25 percent is the most the Comptroller lists anywhere in the county. Texas caps the combined local share at 2 percent, so no address here exceeds 8.25 percent.
How do I find the exact rate for an address in Upshur County?
Use Texas's own address lookup. In Upshur County the rate depends on the address, anywhere from 6.75% to 8.25%.
Who has to collect sales tax in Upshur County?
