This measure increases Santa Barbara County's transient occupancy tax from 12% to 14% for hotel and short-term rental guests in unincorporated areas, generating approximately $3 million annually. The revenue would fund local services including emergency communications, infrastructure repairs, gang prevention, groundwater protection, homelessness programs, and general county services.
