LOST: Local Option Sales Tax Training Resources


Local Option Sales Tax (LOST)

 

The Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) law requires counties and “qualified cities” receiving general purpose LOST revenue to renegotiate distribution agreements within two years of each decennial census. As such, “qualified cities” and counties must begin renegotiation of their distribution agreements on or before July 1, 2012.
