The Public Improvement Fee (PIF) is collected and used to finance a portion of the cost of public improvements at Belmar.
The PIF at Belmar is 2.5% on all sales transactions, as defined in the PIF Covenant. The PIF is a fee and NOT a tax; therefore, it becomes a part of the total sales price and is subject to sales tax.
At Belmar, the combined sales tax rate of 5.5% is to be collected on the total taxable purchase price. Upon an annual review, the City sales tax rate may be subject to change. Deliveries made within the City of Lakewood, but outside Belmar, are subject to the 3.0% City sales tax.
Please review the Belmar PIF Brochure for detailed information and examples.
ATTENTION SPECIAL-EVENT VENDORS!
