This measure increases Carpinteria's transient occupancy tax from 12% to 15%, which is paid by guests staying in hotels, motels, and short-term rentals, generating an estimated $750,000 annually for general government services. The tax revenue would fund various city services including public safety, street repairs, homelessness programs, emergency preparedness, libraries, and beach protection.
