About the Committee & Measure H
During the November 2007 election, City of Ceres' voters approved a ½-cent retail transaction and use tax (sales tax) for the improvement of police, fire and 9-1-1 emergency response. The Ordinance establishing the local tax and the expenditure plan for the tax revenues can be viewed below.
2017 Sales Tax Rate Decrease
Effective January 1, 2017, the sales tax rate decreased to 7.875%.
The new sales tax must be charged on all tangible personal property that is delivered or placed into use within the Ceres city limits. Some examples of tangible personal property include items like furniture, toys, clothing, etc.
Some sales and purchases are exempt from sales and use tax. Examples of exempt sales include but are not limited to, certain food products and prescription medicine. For more information from the Board of Equalization on exempt sales, see Publication 61 - Sales and Use Taxes: Exemptions and Exclusions (PDF).
