Why the rate here is not the whole story
California levies 7.25% statewide and the Del Norte County line in CDTFA-95 shows 7.25%, meaning no district tax applies across the whole county. CDTFA does not publish that as a rate anyone charges, because the unincorporated area carries district taxes of its own; every listed location in the county, unincorporated area and city alike, is at 8.25%. District taxes are approved by voters in individual cities and districts and do not follow county lines, so use the CDTFA address lookup for a specific location.
