By adjusting the <br />household expenditures based on taxable and non-taxable sales, RSG estimates that each <br />household would spend an average of $17,836 at buildout. Based on experience with previous <br />projects in the City, an estimated 65 percent of those expenditures would be subject to Santa <br />Ana's sales tax. <br />The State and County sales tax receive 6 percent and 0.75 percent of taxable sales, respectively. <br />In addition, the City levies its own sales tax at a rate of 1 percent. In 2018, Santa Ana voters <br />approved an additional sales tax of 1.5 percent that would then decrease to 1 percent in 2029 <br />until expiring in 2039. RSG took this increase into consideration when analyzing the affects the <br />new residents would have on the City's General Fund. <br />Using ESRI's Business Analyst Online software, <br />expenditures the average new household wou <br />vacancy rate from Census data, 2.7 percent, t <br />Multiplying the households and the expenditure <br />sales of $1.9 million.
