In general, anything subject to Minnesota state sales tax is covered by a local sales tax. Clothing is not taxable in Minnesota. Motor vehicles are covered by a separate tax and are not subject to the local sales tax. Motor vehicles include cars, motorcycles, motor homes, pickups, trailers, commercial and non-commercial trucks, semi/truck-tractors, tractors and vans.
