Dean & Linda Stock said:You're right. I thought I had posted the new info, but I hadn't. I got the original figures from the cashier at the U of A State Museum bookstore. However, I noticed that the figures couldn't be correct when I purchased other items. I turned to my trusty i-Phone and asked it the current state sales tax, and it is 6.6%, as Bernie said. Local taxes are added onto that, and our experience is that it varies widely. In Yuma, we paid $8.89 tax at our RV resort on a $86.89 bill, so that's a little more than 10%. I'm sorry I didn't post the new info immediately when I figured it out.
Note that in many cities the tax is higher on "Room and Meals" (or in some cases such as Tucson just Rooms) than the general sales tax.
