About ZIP 90291
ZIP boundaries are postal routes, not tax boundaries.
Los Angeles County stacks several voter-approved district taxes — Measure M, Measure H and predecessors — which is the entire reason the rate is 2.25 points above the state floor. For destination-based sourcing, California sellers should confirm the rate by full street address rather than ZIP alone — a single ZIP can cross a city limit or a transit-district boundary, and the rate follows the boundary, not the mail route.
