County Tax Update
Beginning January 1, 2025, Manitowoc County imposes a 0.5% county sales and use tax.
All sellers registered to collect Wisconsin sales or use tax must collect and remit Manitowoc County tax on taxable sales made to locations in Manitowoc County, regardless of whether the seller is located in Manitowoc County.
Sellers must determine the proper sales tax rate applicable to each transaction. Sellers may use our Wisconsin State and Local Sales Tax Rate Lookup to determine the tax rate applicable to a specific street address and 5-digit zip code or 9-digit zip code. Alternatively, sellers and software programmers may use our Wisconsin rate and boundary database files to program into their software to determine the proper tax rate applicable to a specific street address or 9-digit zip code in Wisconsin.
Purchasers are liable for 5.5% use tax (5% Wisconsin and 0.5% Manitowoc County) if they store, use, or consume taxable purchases in Manitowoc County. They do not have an invoice from the seller indicating the tax paid to the seller.
Special Rules and Transitional Provisions
Special rules and transitional provisions apply to county sales and use taxes. These provisions are described in Fact Sheet 2414, Milwaukee Sales and Use Taxes, and they also apply to the Manitowoc County tax.
