Sales tax in Minneapolis
The 9.025% you pay at a Minneapolis register is made up of 6.88% state tax plus roughly 2.150% in local taxes — a combination of county, city, and special-district levies. 6.875% state + 0.15% Hennepin County + 0.5% city + transit + sports facility taxes. Clothing and groceries exempt.
That's higher than the Minnesota average of 8.04%. Most large Minnesota cities run above the state average because urban areas tend to layer transit taxes, special improvement districts, and arena/stadium taxes on top of the state and county base.
Minnesota exempts both groceries and most clothing from sales tax — those exemptions apply in Minneapolis too. Prepared food and restaurant meals, however, are generally fully taxable.
For exact tax on a transaction at a specific Minneapolis address, use the Minnesota Department of Revenue's lookup or a tool like Avalara. Rates can vary block-by-block when special tax districts cover part of the city.
