San Diego Non-Primary Homes Tax
Plain-English Summary
Measure A proposes an annual tax of up to $10,000 on homes in San Diego deemed not to be a primary residence and vacant for more than half the year. The measure aims to address the housing crisis by encouraging owners to sell or rent out properties. Revenue generated would go into the city's General Fund.
What each outcome does
If Measure A passes, a new annual tax of up to $10,000 would be imposed on non-primary residences vacant for over half the year, with the goal of increasing housing supply and generating city revenue.
If Measure A fails, the proposed annual tax on non-primary residences would not be implemented, and the city would not gain the associated revenue or potential changes to housing supply.
