2024 Ballot Measures
- Measure BE – Business License Tax (BLT) (at-large)
Shall an ordinance, without increasing taxes on residents, updating/simplifying City of Monterey Park’s 35-year-old business license tax rates, ensuring fairness to all businesses and helping fund general city services, including keeping public/business areas safe/clean; preventing crime/thefts; strengthening the local economy; by revising the tax rate to 0.00075 per $1,000 of gross receipts ($75 yearly minimum tax), generating approximately $1,200,000 annually until ended by voters, requiring spending disclosure, funds locally controlled, be adopted?
Measure BE would amend the business license tax (BLT) by implementing a tiered tax structure based on business earnings. Businesses earning $500,000 or less annually would pay a flat $75 tax, whereas those earning more than $500,000 would pay $75 plus $0.75 per $1,000 of gross receipts beyond the $500,000 threshold. This amendment is designed to differentiate tax obligations between small and large businesses, a distinction not currently made by the existing tax structure.
The measure also shifts how taxes are calculated, moving away from the current employee-based method to a revenue-based model for most business categories, except contractors who are already taxed based on gross receipts. The existing BLT generates approximately $800,000 annually, but the amendments proposed by Measure BE are expected to increase this to about $1.2 million, with larger businesses contributing more. The additional revenue can be utilized for any general governmental purpose as permitted by law.
- Measure LG – Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) (at-large)
Shall the ordinance providing funding for City of Monterey Park’s general services such as maintaining 911 emergency response and fire protection; increasing neighborhood police patrols; maintaining parks; supporting youth, afterschool, and senior programs; repairing streets and potholes; by increasing the City of Monterey Park’s transient occupancy tax, paid only by hotel/motel and short-term rental guests, from 12% to 13%, providing approximately $500,000 annually until ended by voters; requiring spending disclosure, funds locally controlled, be adopted?
Measure LG proposes to amend the City of Monterey Park's transient occupancy tax (TOT) by increasing it from 12% to 13%. The TOT is a tax paid by individuals staying at hotels, collected by hotel operators on behalf of the City, and currently generates an estimated $3.5 million for fiscal year 2024-25. An additional 1% increase is expected to yield approximately $500,000 more annually, which the City can use for any general governmental purposes.
