Vendor Fee Change

After two years vendors in Larimer County will once again be allowed to retain a fee in conjunction with filing their Larimer County sales tax. The Larimer County Service Fee, also known as the Vendor's Fee, goes to two and twenty-two one hundredths percent (2.22%) beginning January 1, 2012 for all Larimer County sales tax filers who submit timely filed returns. It is not allowed on a delinquent return. This is not a reduction in Larimer County's point-eight percent (.8%) sales tax rate. The pre-printed coupon books sent by the Colorado Department of Revenue for 2012 will reflect the change. Businesses should begin receiving the new coupon books by the end of January.
