City staff evaluating 1.5% local sales tax to fund public safety services
MOUNT SHASTA — City Manager Todd Juhasz is offering residents a breakdown of what a proposed 1.5% local sales tax would mean in practical terms, as the city evaluates whether to place a measure on the November 2026 ballot.
In a message released this week, Juhasz described the tax as one and a half cents on every dollar spent on taxable purchases within city limits — meaning a $10 purchase would generate 15 cents, a $50 purchase 75 cents, and a $100 purchase $1.50.
