About ZIP 95112
ZIP boundaries are postal routes, not tax boundaries.
Santa Clara County's VTA transit measures account for most of San Jose's premium over the California 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.
