Quick answers

Will it raise my taxes?

No. The One Cent is already part of today's 5¢ sales tax. Renewing it leaves the rate unchanged.

Do visitors pay it too?

Yes. More than a quarter of sales tax collected in Natrona County comes from visitors, so residents get the full benefit without carrying the full cost.

Is food taxed?

No. The ballot language excludes food.

How is it different from the state sales tax?

The state's 4% goes mostly to the state, with about 30% shared back to counties and towns. The One Cent stays in Natrona County and is shared by population among the county and its towns.
