Fairly disappointed with the other attempts, I spent the 2 hours to come up with another method to handle county/zip-based sales tax. This method keeps the data manipulation in the admin interface where it belongs.
Attached are my notes.

Oh, and it doesn't work. This person simply put notes about their modification , it doesn't work - don't use it.
Since California has 2000+ zips and nearly 60 counties, I thought I'd take a snapshot of the tables and save someone else the hours of data entry.
The file is built to insert every row into the appropriate tables and it presumes that you have implemented my sales tax mod.
It inserts records into the following tables:
geo_zones
tax_class
tax_rates
zones
zones_to_geo_zones
BTW, switch MySQL's Identity Insert On, or you won't be able to insert the auto-numbering id fields.
