Dakota County implemented a quarter-cent sales tax and $20 excise tax on vehicle sales to fund much needed Dakota County transit and transportation projects. The list of eligible projects for use of the tax may be amended by the Board of Commissioners following a public hearing.
The proposed list of eligible projects is available for public review and comment on the Sales & Use Tax page.
