Local Option Sales Tax
Historically, the Cooper Center tracked local option sales tax data as a service to the citizens of the Commonwealth.
Through a recent partnership with the State of Virginia's Open Data Portal, this data will be moved to their site in the near future. The Open Data Portal will work with Virginia's Department of Taxation to update the information monthly.
Any city and county may levy a general retail sales tax at the rate of one percent to provide revenue for the locality’s general fund. All local sales tax moneys collected by the localities are paid into a state treasury special fund. The State collects and distributes this Local Option one percent Sales and Use Tax, as provided under the Code of Virginia §58.1-605 and §58.1-606. Actual distributions are made monthly to every county and city based on the locality in which the tax was collected. The amounts are recorded in the Local Option Sales Tax report.
