Lyon County approved a county-wide 1% sales tax 5 August 2008, meant to begin 1 October 2008.  Despite overwhelming approval, this bill was negated shortly after because it exceeds the 1% county sales tax cap, due to the current ½% rate already in effect.  On 29 January 2009 legislature will decide whether to increase the county tax cap or to re-vote to stay within the cap of 1%.
