Quarry mineral tax caps and rules

Counties that tax sand, gravel, sandstone, chert, or limestone must stay under per‑ton caps. The cap is $0.15 per ton for tax periods starting before July 1, 2025. It is $0.20 per ton for periods starting on or after July 1, 2025 and before July 1, 2030; $0.25 per ton for periods starting on or after July 1, 2030 and before July 1, 2035; and $0.30 per ton for periods starting on or after July 1, 2035. Caps rise in later years, which can allow higher county rates. A county can raise its rate only by a two‑thirds vote and by sending a certified resolution to the Department of Revenue. The new rate starts on the first day of a month at least 60 days after the Department receives the certified copy.
