April 1st, 2008 marked the date of the sales tax increase in Warr Acres. Residents voted to approve a one cent sales tax increase with half designated for public safety. Fight for sales tax revenue on your delivery, online and catalog orders. Residents of Warr Acres can help the city and themselves by insisting retailers charge the accurate sales tax amount on items delivered to their homes. Many retailers use data systems that calculate sales tax based on zip code. The zip codes in Warr Acres 73122 and 73132 are shared with Oklahoma City and data systems usually charge the Oklahoma city tax rate instead of the Warr Acres rate. This means your tax dollars are going to Oklahoma City instead of helping improve your community in Warr Acres. Insist the cashier or customer service representative use the correct Warr Acres tax rate of 8.5% instead of Oklahoma City's tax rate. You'll ensure that the sales tax will go to Warr Acres for use on capital improvements and general operations. If you have encountered a problem, please contact City Hall.
