The city of Park City is proposing a new 1 percent sales tax to its community and according to Mayor John Lehnherr, the community has responded positively. The sales tax will help with some of the city’s needs such as adding additional law enforcement and helping fix the roads. Lehnherr said the city conducted a recent study and found that 88 percent of Park City’s revenue comes from outsiders visiting. He said because they are near the interstate with four exits, people stop in to dine, shop, and get fuel. Lehnherr added leveraging this 88 percent can also be a benefit to the community. “This is a way where we can bring revenue into the city that’s from outside folks stopping here and using our services but we can lower the mill levy and ease the tax burden on our residents,” he said.
