City and County Lean More on Sales Taxes
A KU economist notes sales taxes will exceed property taxes by about five million dollars in 1996 as Lawrence and Douglas County shift the tax burden. City Manager Wildgen cites sales tax as a tool to cut property taxes while planners fund jail, parks, and health facilities. Households would pay about 240 dollars yearly on a thousand dollar monthly spend. 13.1 million in sales tax revenue expected versus 8.1 million from property taxes. Ten years ago property taxes led sales taxes 5.9 to 2.2 million. The reliance ties revenue to the local economy, with sales taxes rising in good times and faltering in recessions.
