🗳️ What is Measure AAA - the 2026 Transient Occupancy Tax Ballot Measure?

ℹ️ Measure AAA is an upcoming measure on the Nov. 3 General Election ballot that will allow Monterey Park voters to decide whether to increase the City's Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), also known as a hotel tax.

The tax is collected by the lodging business from guests and then remitted to the City to support general municipal services. If approved by voters, the measure would:
🔵 Increase the standard TOT from 13% to 14% for hotels, motels and similar lodging.
🔵 Increase the TOT for short-term rentals from 13% to 16%.
