Below are some suggestions to help you retrieve your tax rate information using the Department of Revenue's jurisdictional database.

Tax rate lookups should be performed using either street address and city name OR street address and ZIP Code.
   

Addresses for U.S. and state highways or state routes should be entered in the format shown in the following examples:

  US Hwy 412
 

State Hwy 45

  State route 79
   
Addresses should not include any of the following:
  Apartment numbers or abbreviations, such as Apt.
 

Suite numbers or abbreviations

  Rural route numbers or abbreviations, such as RR
  P.O. Box numbers
  Building names, numbers, or abbreviations, such as Bldg.
  General delivery
   
Jurisdictional database inquiries may return multiple addresses, each with a given score from 70-100. The score is an indication of matching accuracy. The higher the score, the closer the match.
