The first quarter of 2025 marks the first time in two years that the state of California received a positive year-over-year sales tax result. During that same timeframe Santa Clara County sales tax was down 2.2%, Bay Area sales tax was up 0.5% and City of Morgan Hill sales tax was up 0.1%. Much of the City’s positivity can be attributed to a statewide audit on online sales, leading to reallocations in the County pool which resulted in Morgan Hill’s share increasing 2.1% when compared to this same quarter last year.
The City’s Auto and Transportation category declined in alignment with nationwide industry results, the Fuel and Service Station category decreased due to a reduction in the price of crude oil, and the General Consumer Goods category declined signaling a shift from instore to online shopping. The first quarter of the year historically yields the lowest sales tax generation. Starting the year with a positive sales tax report is hopefully an indicator of additional positive results to come.

From ice cream and milkshakes to burgers and fries, Dari Delite Drive-In has been a Morgan Hill fan favorite since 1978. Family owned and operated by the Kim family since day one, they have served the community with a smile and a kind word for more than 47 years. It was with a heavy heart that we learned of the Kim family’s sale of Dari Delite earlier this year. The Kim family and the quaint building with its nostalgic diner vibes have become an icon of Morgan Hill that will never be forgotten. A heartfelt “thank you” to the Kim family for their dedication and commitment to the Morgan Hill Community and best wishes on their next adventure.
