The answer is simple - it will save you
money and directly benefit your community.
How? First of all, Peoria's retail sales tax rate is
lower than most other Valley cities, so you'll save a few
bucks every time you shop here instead of in a neighboring
city.
See a comparison of Valley retail
& restaurant tax rates.
Second, a significant portion of the tax
dollar you spend here comes back to pay for things you
count on, like police officers, fire fighters, parks,
libraries, recreation programs and street maintenance.
If you spend your dollars in a neighboring city, the
sales taxes you pay benefit that city, not Peoria.
