Frequently Asked Questions
Can we redirect money from other tax initiatives?
No. Voter-approved and dedicated funds from other taxes such as the Parks, Recreation and Stormwater sales tax, Transportation Trust Fund, and others can only be used for those initiatives. The Use Tax is restricted to the general fund which provides essential services and support.
Is this a new tax?
Tax rules were written before internet shopping. The Use Tax applies the same tax rate whether the sale is in-person, online, or otherwise from out-of-state. Shoppers pay the same rate, and big online retailers lose the advantage they have over local shops.
Does the city receive money from the voter-approved county public safety tax?
No, that too is a dedicated fund for the County Sheriff’s Office and does not serve as a revenue source for the City of Cape Girardeau Police Department.
Will County residents in 63701 have to pay the City use tax?
No, the amount of tax to be collected is based on the address, not just the zip code. Online shopping carts might estimate based off of zipcode, but final charges should be based on actual address.
Who can I talk to with my questions?
Call, email, or send a message to staff or Council anytime. Call the City Manager's Office at 573-339-6320 or contact Council.
