San Diego County Votes on Measure B Half-Cent Sales Tax

A citizen initiative would lift the countywide sales tax from 7.75% to 8.25% for Tijuana River sewage fixes, wildfire and public safety, and health care, food aid and child care hit by federal cuts.

The "Protect San Diego County's Health and Safety Act" imposes a transactions and use tax of one half of one percent (0.5%) across the incorporated and unincorporated county^[1]
It takes effect if a majority of voters approve, from the first calendar quarter beginning more than 110 days after adoption^[1]
No more than 60% of revenue goes to health care, nutrition and children's services (including 22% of revenue for child care through First 5), up to 22.5% to the Tijuana River sewage crisis with at least 20% for infrastructure to stop the flows, and 17.5% to public safety, wildfire prevention and crisis response^[1]
Voting runs until 8 p.m. on Tuesday, November 3; mail ballots go out the week of October 5^[2]
Supporters delivered more than 167,000 signatures to the Registrar of Voters on May 4, 2026; more than 102,900 were needed^[5]
The Registrar confirmed more than 121,000 signatures; the tax would take the county rate from 7.75% to 8.25% and raise about $360 million a year by proponents' estimate^[4]
Similar half-cent county (Measure G) and city (Measure E) sales taxes failed by less than 1% in 2024^[4]
Backers put the yield at $400 million to $450 million a year and say more than 150,000 San Diegans risk losing health and nutrition support when federal Medi-Cal requirements start on January 1^[3]
