Sales Tax Increases in Lamorinda

Sales tax receipts as a whole for California increased by 8.7 percent over the same quarter from last year. When you factor in statewide unemployment which dropped to the lowest rate since October of 2008, the economic picture is hopeful.
Lafayette's restaurants kept pace on a year to year basis comparing 2012 to 2013 up by 4.8 percent, about what the statewide average was. Real category winners are "Miscellaneous retail" up nearly 12 percent from last year, along with apparel stores up 9.8 percent for the same time period.
Comparing the most recent four quarters from April of 2013 through March of 2014 for Lamorinda's municipalities, Lafayette was up 2.2 percent in sales tax net cash receipts, Orinda was up 6.8 percent and Moraga was up 1.5 percent when compared to the same period a year ago - April 2012 through March 2013.
