Sales Tax<\/strong>
\nNebraska state sales and use tax rate is 5.5 percent. Local sales and use taxes can be set at 0.5 percent, 1.0 percent, or 1.5 percent. Most of the communities in the Metropolitan Omaha region impose a combined state and local tax of 7 percent. Both Iowa and Nebraska impose special taxes on specific items like cigarettes and motor fuels.<\/p>\n

Iowa imposes a state tax rate of 5 percent with a maximum of 1 percent local optional tax. Certain exceptions are provided, including exemption of the sales of certain foods, prescription drugs, medical devices, and farm and industrial machinery, equipment and computers. Iowa also offers a brief “sales tax holiday” on clothing just prior to the opening of the school year. In both Nebraska and Iowa, use taxes must be paid directly to the state by individual taxpayers on such items like Internet or catalog purchases where sales tax was not paid.\u00a0 For more information, contact:<\/p>\n

Property Taxes
\n<\/strong>Local governments and taxing jurisdictions in Iowa and Nebraska are responsible for the valuation of and collection of property taxes. Tax rates vary with the location of the property, school district, utilities district, and whether the property is within the city limits. Although taxes are collected by the county treasurer, contact your county assessor for specific tax rates:<\/p>\n
