Sales taxes within California are broken as follows:

-- 6.00% to the State
-- 1.00% to local city/county operation funds
-- 0.25% to county transportation funds.

Any sales tax above the 7.25% above is levied locally by local city, county, public services, and special districts. California law caps combined local sales taxes at no more than 2.00% above the 7.25%. However, the state legislature routinely authorizes local governments to exceed that cap, through separate legislation. Thus, all sales tax rates throughout Los Angeles County are 9.50% or more. Santa Fe Springs even levies a 10.50% sales tax.
