Nope, that's a standard sales tax, 8.65% in our little burg, as I recall and I think they added in another bump recently to just over 9%. It's only 8.25 or so in Olathe, an nothing is exempt in KS - everything sold gets a tax bump....

That sounds like a bargain compared to our 13% here in Ontario. To make matters worse if this is a build, unless you have registered your vehicle as unfit prior to building it, the tax will apply to the full appraised value whether or not you have paid tax on the parts you used. That means that if you buy a $1000 shell, improve it until it is worth $20,000, you will pay 13% on the full value unless you had the foresight to register the original $1000 car as unfit. How's that for 'fair.'
