What Does “Add Unincorporated Places Tax Rate” Mean?

This feature is available on all Goodshuffle Pro Plans.

When creating a county tax in Goodshuffle Pro, you might notice a button to “Add Unincorporated Places Tax Rate.” But what does that mean?

Incorporated vs. Unincorporated Areas

Incorporated areas are cities, towns, or municipalities that have their own governing bodies.
Unincorporated areas are parts of a county that aren’t part of a city, but may still have specific tax requirements.

If your county charges different tax rates for these unincorporated zones, you’ll want to apply this setting.

Clicking “Add Unincorporated Places Tax Rate” will:

Create a Special Tax Zone within the county for any areas not covered by a city.
Automatically exclude incorporated (city) areas from this rate.

Here’s what this looks like in practice:

Notice how the “bites” taken out represent incorporated cities excluded from this tax zone.
