It can be difficult to calculate sales tax in Shelby County. Sales tax is computed at the point of sale (like a person buying something at a store) or computed for the delivery address, ex. shipped merchandise. There is a 4% Alabama state sales tax and a 1% county sales tax in Shelby county. Any additional tax is based on the city. Sales tax is 'generally' 9% for most of the county, since most of the county is within the city limits of a city.
The Tax Foundation's latest look at sales tax rates around the country shows that Alabama has the third-highest combined state and local tax rate in the country. The average sales tax is 8.91 percent, behind only Tennessee (9.45 percent) and Arkansas (9.26 percent). The report looks only at tax rates, not what the levy applies to. Unlike most states, Alabama applies the full sales tax rate to groceries and over-the-counter medicine.
