Measure C – Hotel Tax Increase

The San Diego City Council voted in early November to place the measure on the March 2020 ballot.

The hotel tax hike would fund a convention center expansion, homeless services and infrastructure improvements.

The tax increase would raise the city’s transient occupancy tax from 10.5 percent to as high as 15.75 percent in certain areas. Supporters say it could raise $6 billion over 42 years.

Those opposed argued the measure should be placed on the November 2020 ballot, when voter turnout is expected to be higher.
