Consider drafting 2 rental tax measures for November ballot
In Plain English
The city council would decide whether to create ballot measures asking voters to approve new taxes on rental properties. One tax would be based on total rental income collected by landlords. The other would charge a flat fee per rental unit. If approved by voters, either tax would generate new revenue for city services.
