“The sales tax, by far, continues to be our single largest resource of revenue. When people shop in the City their sales tax dollars stay right here at home.”, explains Darren Hernandez, City Treasurer.

The City of Santa Clarita launched its “Shop Santa Clarita” campaign last year, helping to educate residents about the many benefits of shopping within the City and strengthening local sales tax.
