City of Grand Junction Sales Tax License
The City of Grand Junction required sales tax collection in addition to the Colorado sales tax. The City of Grand Junction is a home-rule municipality and collects its own sales tax. If you do not have a full City of Grand Junction sales tax license you will need to register for the special event you will be attending. You will register via the online portal before the event and then file the tax return after the event. For Market on Main you will need to register for the full month of the market you are participating in (for example if you are attending all 12 weeks you must register for July, August and September in the sales tax portal).
