The City of Mountain View Emergency Response, Community Safety, and Local Control Measure on the November ballot.

Please participate!

On June 25, 2024, the Mountain View City Council voted unanimously to place a revenue measure on the November 2024 ballot. The ballot measure would amend the City of Mountain View’s existing Real Property Conveyance Tax Ordinance. If approved by local voters this November, the measure would raise the City’s existing, voter-approved property transfer tax on sales of properties above $6,000,000 to $15.00 per $1,000, generating about $9,500,000 annually in funding the State legally cannot take. The ballot question that will be posed to local Mountain View voters is below:

“Shall the measure to provide additional funding for services that protect local property values, including 9-1-1 emergency medical/disaster response; street, sidewalk and pothole repairs; affordable housing support; and other general government services, by raising the City of Mountain View's existing voter-approved property transfer tax, imposed on residential/commercial property sales above $6,000,000 only, up to $15.00 per $1,000, generating about $9,500,000 in locally controlled funding annually until ended by voters, with independent audits, be adopted?”

If you would like to share your ideas on what priorities the potential new revenues could be directed toward, email the City Manager’s Office at City.Mgr@mountainview.gov.

More information about revenue measure will be available soon on the City Election Information webpage.
