Background Information
Following a public hearing on November 20, 2018 and further discussion at the December 6, 2018 Board meeting, Waseca County enacted a 1/2 percent countywide local option transportation sales and use tax to address transportation funding needs throughout the County. The tax is scheduled to go into effect on April 1, 2019.
Revenue generated from the tax will be dedicated to transportation and transit needs in the County pursuant to 2013 Minnesota legislation under statute 297A.993 that allows County Boards to impose a transportation sales tax at a rate of up to one half of one percent.
Throughout October and November of 2018, Waseca County conducted a series of presentations in each of the County’s four communities to bring forward information and further discuss implementation of a local option transportation sales and use tax.
