The Sarasota County penny sales tax, sometimes known as the sales surtax, surtax or one-cent tax, provides funding for roadways, public safety, libraries, schools, parks and more.
The voter approved tax began in 1989 and shares revenues locally between the school district, Sarasota County, and municipalities.
