Impact analysis
The tax raises costs slightly on everyday purchases, with revenue going to local projects rather than staying in shoppers’ pockets.
Residents and visitors who use the tax-funded projects—and the local agencies and contractors that build them—come out ahead.
Lower-income households feel it most because sales taxes eat up a bigger share of their budgets.
