County and Regional Transit Authority Permissive Sales and Use Tax Collections and Tax Rates for August 2001 and August 2000 for Distribution in the Month of October 2001
As of August 31, 2001, the Ohio Department of Taxation administered permissive sales and use taxes for 87 counties and six transit authorities. County permissive sales tax levies ranged from 0.5 percent to 1.5 percent, while the transit authority levies ranged from 0.25 percent to 1.0 percent.
As of August 31, 2001, one county (Stark) did not levy the tax. The permissive tax and the transit authority tax are enacted at the local level, but are collected by the state along with a five-percent state sales tax. The local share is returned to the counties and regional transit authorities.
August 2001 receipts from the county permissive sales and use tax were approximately $92.6 million while receipts from the transit tax were approximately $23.3 million. Total collections for the month of August 2001 were $115.9 million, down 0.9 percent from August 2000.
