SF 4181 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Douglas County authorization to impose a local sales tax

This bill authorizes Douglas County to impose a local sales tax of up to 0.25% to help fund a new library construction project. The tax would require voter approval through an election and can be used to pay for library building costs up to $18.5 million plus associated bond expenses. If approved, the county could issue bonds to finance the project, with the tax revenue used to repay those bonds over time. The tax would expire after ten years or earlier once the project costs are fully covered, with any remaining funds returned to the county's general fund.
