Reno County Commission To Hold A Special Meeting at 4 pm, Tuesday, Jan. 20th

The Reno County Board of Commissioners (BOCC)  will hold a special meeting at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, in the Veterans Room of the Reno County Courthouse, 206 W. 1st Avenue, to discuss a possible countywide sales tax.  The commissioners received the final Sales Tax Survey report during a joint meeting with the City of Hutchinson on Wednesday, January 14, 2026. Review the report and all the information about the possible sales tax at Sales Tax Survey.

The revenue that would be generated from a countywide sales tax would be shared with all cities in Reno County. 

How do sales tax and property tax work differently? Sales tax is paid by everyone when they shop - visitors, residents, renters, and property owners alike. Property tax is paid annually by property owners, though renters typically pay it through their rent since landlords factor it into housing costs. It's two different ways to fund county services - one spreads the cost across everyone who spends money here, the other focuses on those who live here.
