Measure G

City of Twentynine Palms Transactions and Use Tax Measure

Measure G would implement a one percent “sales tax” on applicable transactions within the City.  The “sales tax” will be calculated based on the sales price of tangible personal property sold at retail in the City. For example, for every $100 spent on taxable goods, the proposed tax would be one dollar ($1.00). 

This measure requires approval by a majority of voters voting on the measure to pass.

Fiscal Impact: Measure G is estimated to generate $2,000,000 in annual funding for the City.

Proposal

If approved, Measure G would implement a one percent “sales tax” on applicable transactions within the City.  The “sales tax” will be calculated based on the sales price of tangible personal property sold at retail in the City. The proceeds of which may only be used for local services and to address local priorities such as: maintaining 911 and emergency response times, police officers and patrols; repairing streets/sidewalks; responding to floods/natural disasters; maintaining safety of public parks; and upgrading the animal shelter.”

Combined with the total state and county sales tax rate of 7.75%, the total sales tax in Twentynine Palms would increase to 8.75%
