About ZIP 94601
ZIP boundaries are postal routes, not tax boundaries.
Alameda County carries one of the deepest district stacks in the country; the county and city split shown reconstructs the CDTFA published total. 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.
