Sales Tax
The Colorado Department of Revenue administers Mesa County sales tax. In order to submit sales taxes to Mesa County, a business must obtain a sales tax license from the State of Colorado and file sales tax returns directly to the State of Colorado through the Revenue Online website.
When a business sells retail tangible personal property within the County or has a point of delivery within Mesa County, it is required to collect State, County, and Public Safety Improvement sales tax (total of 5.27%). City, town, or special district sales taxes may apply as well and the business should determine the method of collection for each applicable jurisdiction.
Mesa County recognizes tax-exempt status for any organization with an approved Certificate of Exemption for Colorado State Sales/Use Tax (form DR 0160).
