South Shore board says municipal sales-and-use tax will rise to 2% on July 1, 2026
Summary
The Town Board reported the state approved raising South Shore’s municipal sales-and-use tax to 2%, effective July 1, 2026, to align with most municipalities in the state.
The Town Board of South Shore reported that the state has approved an increase in the town’s municipal sales-and-use tax to 2 percent, effective July 1, 2026. The board announced the change during its April 7 meeting; the increase was described as alignment with the rate used by most municipalities in the state.
The board did not record a separate vote in the minutes on the change because the action reflected state approval of a local rate increase rather than a new measure introduced at the meeting. Finance Officer Michelle Zirbel presented the town’s financial report on April 7 and the board noted the effective date and implementation timing for billing and local administration.
