Renewal of the Local Option Sales and Service Tax (LOSST) was approved by Allamakee County voters in a special election held Tuesday, August 5 in the cities of Waukon, Waterville, Postville, Harpers Ferry and New Albin and in the unincorporated areas, all by wide margins.
Voters in all of the jurisdictions approved a ten-year renewal of the tax, with the exception of Harpers Ferry, where voters approved renewal of the tax with no "sunset date."
Unofficial results provided by the Allamakee County Auditor's Office show the following vote totals:
Waukon 220-28; Waterville 17-0; Postville 48-3; Harpers Ferry 27-0; New Albin 20-2; unincorporated 221-23.
The City of Lansing has no "sunset date" on the one-percent sales and service tax, so no election was held there.
