Adding Tax by Location Code

I’m a photographer in Washington State where we are required to charge tax based on the Location Code where the photos are delivered (digital or otherwise), typically the client’s home address.  

Even within a single mid-size town, there can be 5 or more “Location Codes” (aka Tax Rates).  So I literally deliver to dozens (if not more than a hundred) Location Codes/Tax Rates for my client base. All of the other invoicing platforms I’ve used in the past allow for the creation of UNLIMITED tax rates, which I simply select from a drop down at the time of invoicing (based on their address). 

Just made the switch to HB, which only allows up to THREE tax rates to be added. What!? I’m being told by the HB team that this is in fact the limit and there aren’t currently plans to fix this. I can’t imagine I’m the first to run into this issue. Has anyone found a work-around to this? Or can y’all upvote this post so the dev team can allow for unlimited tax rates to be added? :) This shouldn't be a complicated fix. It is after all a state requirement for my type of business. Thank you!
