Local Option Sales Tax

The City of Reinbeck has had a local option sales and service tax (LOST) since January 1, 2016.  90% is to be used for repairs, replacements, upgrades, and new additions to the infrastructure systems of the City of Reinbeck including streets, sanitary sewer, water treatment, water distribution, curb & gutter and stormsewer/run off management and 10% to park & recreation and other community improvement projects.  Supporting your local businesses helps increase the amount of local option sales & service tax the City of Reinbeck receives.  We have used the funds received for the stormwater project and commercials promoting Reinbeck.  Please remember to shop local so more projects can be done without having to bond for them.
