TAX CHANGES
City of Winslow
The city electorate passed Proposition 426 on November 3, 2020, which extends the levy and collection of an additional one percent (1.00%) city transaction privilege tax.
The Council of the City of Winslow ordained the extension of privilege tax with the passing of Ordinance Number 1359 on March 23, 2021 for an additional period of five years from July 15, 2021. Ordinance Number 1359 amends Article VII, Additional Tax, on each of the taxable categories listed in Article IV of the Tax Code, with the exception of those categories in Sections 9-422, 9-432, and 9-447. Ordinance 1359 shall cease on or after July 15, 2026 unless reauthorized by the qualified electors of the City.
