This measure would have increased Mission Viejo's transient occupancy tax on hotel, motel, and short-term rental guests from 8% to 12% to fund police services, emergency response, and infrastructure maintenance. The measure required a two-thirds voter approval threshold and would have generated an estimated $670,000 annually with provisions for public spending disclosure and independent audits.
