Damn! Ours is close with 6%. I think Hawaii is the worst, but I forget the exact amount.

My area does, for real estate. Our sales tax is .0875.

That's crazy. They tried to hike my Dad's property taxes way up, after they said they wouldn't be going up, and he marched down to city hall bitching and they lowered the increase! My Dad rules.
