Settle lawsuit and reduce business taxes for auto dealers by $500,000
In Plain English
Six auto dealers sued the city in 2022, claiming Measure U taxes were unconstitutional. Auto dealers currently pay the same high tax rate as manufacturers. If approved, dealers get their own lower tax category, saving them about $500,000 annually.
