Of the City’s 3.0% sales tax, 2.25% is the base rate. The base rate is used to fund general government services like police, transportation and administration. Three one-quarter cent dedicated taxes were approved by City voters to be used specifically for streets and transportation, general city projects and natural areas. The quarter-cent taxes for streets and transportation and general city projects will expire on December 31, 2015. The quarter-cent tax for natural areas will expire on December 31, 2030.
