What is Roanoke’s Sales Tax Rate?
In 2022, the combined effective sales tax rate for the city of Roanoke is 5.3% (zip code 24011). Unlike Richmond, there is no special district or county sales tax imposed. This means the total effective sales tax rate is a combination of the state’s 4.3% and the city’s 1% tax rates.
| State of Virginia | 4.3% |
| City of Roanoke | 1.0% |
| County of Roanoke | 0% |
| Total | 5.3% |
The location of your business or organization is used to determine the tax rate, especially for on-site sales. A different rate could apply for products that are shipped depending on facts and circumstances. As outlined above, Virginia has a 4.3% statewide tax, but there are over 270 local jurisdictions, including Roanoke (with an average rate of 1.327%) that compound on top of the state rate. In other words, the total tax amount will vary based on location.
