News » Fond du Lac Co. to repeal local sales tax in 2021

Mar. 17, 2010
The half-cent sales tax that Fond du Lac County implemented to keep Mercury Marine in town will come to an end, at the end of 2021.

That's when leaders believe they will have generated enough revenue to cover the incentives that the outboard engine maker received. The county board unanimously approved the "sunset date" last night.

County Executive Al Buechel says while a few other counties have set "sunset dates" in the past, they've never followed through on them. He says Fond du Lac would be the only one to actually end its tax.

The county board also decided to use any extra revenue that's collected before the sunset date for economic development or tax relief.

61 other counties have a half-cent sales tax in place.
