This measure increased East Palo Alto's business tax on landlords from 1.5% to 2.5% of gross receipts and expanded it to apply to all residential rental units rather than just those with five or more units. The tax cannot be passed on to tenants and is expected to raise approximately $1,480,000 annually for general government uses including affordable housing programs and tenant support.
