Perhaps you’ve spotted the signs or noticed the extra tax on your receipt. Fans who buy Wind Surge merchandise at Riverfront Stadium, for example, will notice an extra 2% sales tax, outside of the usual 7.5% rate. Similarly, there’s also an added 1.5% sales tax at Chicken N Pickle. That’s because there are 14 community improvement districts across the Wichita area that are leveraging an additional sales tax — anywhere from 1-2% — to support certain commercial development projects. A CID is an incentive program that provides funds to a development project through the levy of additional sales tax within the district boundaries, or special assessments on real property.
