Sales Tax Rates Rise Up To 10.75% In Alameda County; Highest In California
By Wilson Walker
ALAMEDA COUNTY, California (KPIX) As of Thursday, sales tax rates in Alameda County have gone up, pushing them to the highest in the state. While the money is now getting collected, a taxpayers’ group is still fighting to stop it.
“Well, you can see the number up here is $69.99, which is what I thought I was going to pay,” said a Dublin shopper named Robert, who was buying a television for his mother. “Obviously, I knew that was gonna be some tax.”
In Dublin and through much of the county, that would be the new rate of 10.25%.
