Tempe, AZ Sales Tax Rate. The current total local sales tax rate in Tempe, AZ is 8.100%. The December 2016 total local sales tax rate was also 8.100%.
However, the rate on the county website and on tax bills is $2.34. The difference is related to what is called the nominal tax rate and effective tax rate. The $2.34 is the nominal rate, which means this is what could be collected if the entire assessed value (or book value) of a vehicle is taxed. However, most jurisdictions do not tax the entire assessed value, only a percentage of it.
