Voters in many states across the country will head to the ballot box on November 5 to vote on many statewide and local ballot initiatives that will have a direct impact on their wallets. From National Taxpayers Union’s independent analysis, there are at least 954 ballot measures whose outcome will directly affect taxpayers. There are at least 350 measures that would issue $28 billion in bonds (with unspecified increases to property taxes), nine advisory measures on $1.9 billion in annual tax increases, and at least 260 measures that would raise at least $5.9 billion in taxes annually. Additionally, there are 249 property tax increases, 68 sales tax increases, 14 physical plant and equipment tax increases, six short-term lodging tax increases, and three income tax increases that do not have any revenue estimates.
Below is NTU's full analysis of state and local ballot initiatives that will impact taxpayers this November.

Specifically, $112 million would be allocated for park construction and maintenance (Question 1), $112 million for city improvements and infrastructure (Question 2), and $94 million for public safety, infrastructure, and technology projects (Question 3). If all the bonds on the ballot are approved, the estimated property tax impact for that homeowner would be $107.89 per year ($8.99 per month) per year over the next 25 years. If all three of these questions are approved, the county estimates the total cost of debt service, including both interest and principal, would total about $472 million.

It would raise taxes by an estimate $11 million annually until it expires in 2027. This measure requires a 66.67 supermajority in order to be approved.
- Measure H: This measure would authorize the Piedmont Unified School District to enact a parcel tax of $.25 per building for eight years to fund teacher salary increases. The parcel tax is a tax on the land of real property collected as part of a property tax bill. Unlike the property tax, the parcel tax cannot be based on property value.

Calaveras County
City of Angel Camp - Measure C: This measure would increase city’s lodging tax on short-term rentals from 10 to 12 percent. It would raise taxes by $200,000 annually.
Contra Costa County
City of El Cerrito - Measure H: -This measure would permanently extend city’s parcel tax of $58 per parcel, where all revenue raised will be used for quality of life purposes. The parcel tax is a tax on the land of real property collected as part of a property tax bill. Unlike the property tax, the parcel tax cannot be based on property value. It would raise taxes by an estimated $650,000 annually and requires a simple majority to approve.
Fresno County
City of Parlier - Measure S - This measure would permanently increase the city’s sales tax rate by 1 percentage point, from 7.975 to 8.975, to pay for city services. This tax increase is estimated to generate $400,000 in annual tax revenue.
Imperial County
- Measure N: - This measure would allow the Salton Community Services District to authorize a special tax rate of $10 for unimproved real property and $75 for improved real property per taxable parcel within the District. The parcel tax is a tax on the land of real property collected as part of a property tax bill. Unlike the property tax, the parcel tax cannot be based on property value. It is unclear the amount of revenue that is estimated to be raised from this measure if it is approved.
Lake County

Los Angeles County
City of Claremont - Measure CR - This measure would permanently increase the city’s sales tax rate by .75 percentage points, from 9.5 to 10.25, to pay for city services. This tax increase is estimated to generate $2.5 billion in annual tax revenue. A sales tax increase is considered regressive because it disproportionately burden those with lower incomes compared to wealth consumers.
City of Hermosa Beach - Measure H: - This measure would increase the city’s lodging tax on short-term rentals from 12 to 14 percent. It would raise taxes by $550,000 annually. Hotel taxes are attractive to local politicians because they are a way to shift the tax burden to “outsiders,” but they are not a stable source of revenue and the epitome of poor tax policy.
City of Irwindale - Measure I: - This measure would permanently increase the City of Irwindale’s sales tax rate by .75 percentage points, from 9.5 to 10.25, to pay for city services. This tax increase is estimated to generate $1.1 billion in annual tax revenue. A sales tax increase is considered regressive because it disproportionately burden those with lower incomes compared to wealth consumers.
City of Lynnwood - Measure PS: - This measure would remove the “sunset provision” for the city’s sales tax increase which is set to expire in 2026. In other words, if this measure is approved the .75 percentage point sales tax increase would remain in perpetuity. An analysis estimates that this measure may raise approximately $5 million per year in general fund revenue for the City.
City of Monrovia - Measure I: - This measure would permanently increase the city’s sales tax rate by .75 percentage points, from 9.5 to 10.25, to pay for city services. This tax increase is estimated to generate $4.5 million in annual tax revenue. A sales tax increase is considered regressive because it disproportionately burden those with lower incomes compared to wealth consumers.
City of Rancho Palos Verdes - Measure B: - This measure would enact a significant minimum wage increase and new worker regulations for hospitality employees working within the city. Specifically, Measure B would gradually increase the minimum wage to $15 per hour until 2022, which will then trigger a 2 percent annual wage increase. The measure would limit Employees’ daily work hours absent informed written consent (except in an emergency), limits the daily square footage room cleaners may clean, or requires double pay if they clean more. Finally, employers must provide Employees with a non-discounted Los Angeles Metro pass, or the equivalent credit for ridesharing services to and from an employee’s residence. These new regulations would impact hotels that have 50 or more rooms, golf courses, amusement parks, or any business with 50+ hospitality employees.
City of South Pasadena - Measure A: - This measure would permanently increase the city’s sales tax rate by .75 percentage points, from 9.5 to 10.25, to pay for city services. This tax increase is estimated to generate $1.5 billion in annual tax revenue.

The parcel tax is a tax on the land of real property collected as part of a property tax bill. Unlike the property tax, the parcel tax cannot be based on property value. Defeating this measure would eliminate the tax at the end of the fiscal year. A 66.67 majority vote is required to approve this measure.
Marin County
City of Fairfax - Measure F: - This measure would extend the city's municipal services parcel tax of $195 for eleven years, with an annual increase of $5 on every business and residential unit. The parcel tax is a tax on the land of real property collected as part of a property tax bill. Unlike the property tax, the parcel tax cannot be based on property value. This tax is estimated to generate up to $912,500 annually.
City of Anselmo - Measure M: - This measure would authorize the city’s to levy a parcel tax of $98 per residential unit or per 1,500 square of non-residential use for thirty years. The parcel tax is a tax on the land of real property collected as part of a property tax bill. Unlike the property tax, the parcel tax cannot be based on property value. This tax is estimated to generate up to $500,000 annually.
- Measure E: - This measure would extend the current Reed Union School District Parcel Tax for another twelve years. The parcel tax is a tax on the land of real property collected as part of a property tax bill. Unlike the property tax, the parcel tax cannot be based on property value. This tax would be levied at $589 per parcel and would increase by three percent annually and is expected to raise $2.5 million each year.
Orange County
- Measure A: - This measure would place a massive gross receipts tax on commercial cannabis business, at rates of 2.5 percent for testing; 6 percent of all retail sales; 3 percent of distribution; and 4 percent of manufacturing/processing. This tax is estimated to generate up to $1.4 million annually.
City of Stanton - Measure B: - This measure would increase the city’s lodging tax on short-term rentals from 8 to 12 percent. It would raise taxes by $250,000 annually and would have no expiration date. Hotel taxes are attractive to local politicians because they are a way to shift the tax burden to “outsiders,” but they are not a stable source of revenue and the epitome of poor tax policy.
San Francisco County
- Measure A: - This measure would allow the district to issue up to $600 million in bonds to fund programs that encourage the development of affordable housing across the city. In order to pay for these bonds, the city would raise property taxes by $2.07 per $100,000 of assessed value in the first fiscal year. In fiscal year 2022-2023, the last year of bond issuance, the property tax rate is estimated to increase to $17.13 per $100,000 of assessed value. It is estimated this tax will raise on average, about $50 million annually. It is unclear what the estimated total cost, including principal and interest, will add up to.
- Measure C: - This measure would overturn a citywide ban on the sale of electronic cigarettes and other nicotine vapor products. The current ban on less-harmful vapor products is completely illogical given that consumers are able to purchase cigarettes and other traditional tobacco products that are dangerous and deadly. These products are less harmful than combustible cigarettes and considered to be tobacco harm reduction (THR), based on a reasonable premise that there are significant benefits (for individual health, government health care programs, and the economy) to providing smokers with innovative alternative means of getting the nicotine they desire. By removing this ban, it would provide current cigarette smokers a less harmful substitute to finally kick their habit.
- Measure D: - This measure would establish a new tax on commercial ride sharing services that originate within the San Francisco. The tax would be 1.5 percent on a shared-ride and 3.25 percent on a private ride and these taxes would remain in place until 2045. The city estimates this tax will generate up to $35 million annually which will be deposited into the General Fund. These taxes will almost certainly be passed onto consumers who use these services, which functions as a direct tax on consumers, particularly younger riders.
- Measure E: - This measure would open up more of the city’s public space for affordable housing development. Right now 100 percent affordable and educator housing cannot be built on public land. Proposition E would change that and would allow San Francisco’s Planning Commission to redevelop publicly-owned land into new affordable housing units. While this is a step in the right direction, the city must continue to reform the zoning laws to encourage more private sector development of housing units in order for supply to catch up to demand.
San Mateo County
City of Brisbane - Measure B: - This measure would increase the city’s tax on short-term rentals from 12 to 14 percent. It would raise taxes by $200,000 annually and would have no expiration date. Hotel taxes are attractive to local politicians because they are a way to shift the tax burden to “outsiders,” but they are not a stable source of revenue and the epitome of poor tax policy.
- Measure E: - This measure would allow the city to place a gross receipts tax of up to 6 percent on commercial cannabis businesses operating within the city. To be clear, this measure would not enact a 6 percent tax, it would give the city council the authority to levy a gross receipts tax ranging from 0 to 6 percent.
City of San Bruno - Measure G: - This measure would permanently increase the city’s sales tax rate by .5 percentage points, from 9.25 to 9.75, to pay for city services. This tax increase is estimated to generate $4 million in annual tax revenue. A sales tax increase is considered regressive because it disproportionately burden those with lower incomes compared to wealth consumers.
- Measure H: - This measure would authorize the Redwood City School District to authorize a parcel tax of $149 for twelve years in order to fund education programs. The parcel tax is a tax on the land of real property collected as part of a property tax bill. Unlike the property tax, the parcel tax cannot be based on property value. This tax is estimated to generate up to $3.45 million annually. This measure requires a 66.67 percent supermajority in order to be approved.
- Measure I: - This measure would authorize the Cabrillo Unified School District to authorize a parcel tax of $150 for eight years in order to fund education programs.

Unlike the property tax, the parcel tax cannot be based on property value. This tax is estimated to generate up to $1.2 million annually. This measure requires a 66.67 percent supermajority in order to be approved.
- Measure E: - This measure would authorize the Gold Ridge Fire Protection District to authorize a permanent parcel tax of $200 for residential properties plus an additional $100 per residential unit; $100 for agricultural land; $50 per parcel of pasture land; and $300 per commercial, industrial, and warehouse parcel. Unlike the property tax, the parcel tax cannot be based on property value. This tax is estimated to generate up to $1.2 million annually. This measure requires a 66.67 percent supermajority in order to be approved.
- Measure F: - This measure would authorize the Graton Fire Protection District to authorize a permanent parcel tax of $250 for residential properties plus an additional $100 per residential unit; $250 for agricultural land; $300 per commercial, industrial, and warehouse parcel plus an additional $.14 per square foot; and $100 per parcel for other land. Unlike the property tax, the parcel tax cannot be based on property value. This tax is estimated to generate up to $800,000 annually. This measure requires a 66.67 percent supermajority in order to be approved.
Stanislaus County
City of Oakdale - Measure H: - This measure would extend the city’s sales tax by .5 percentage points for the next eleven years, to pay for city services. This tax increase is estimated to generate $1.9 million in annual tax revenue. A sales tax increase is considered regressive because it disproportionately burdens those with lower incomes compared to wealthier consumers.
Colorado
: Proposition CC
This measure would significantly weaken the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR) within the state constitution and harm taxpayers across Colorado. Since TABOR limits the amount of money the state is allowed to spend, all surplus revenue in excess of the cap must be refunded to Colorado taxpayers. And thanks to stronger than anticipated revenue collections, Colorado has more money in the bank than was allocated for FY19 spending.
This means the state will have to refund about $500 million to Colorado taxpayers next year, and a projected $1.7 billion over the next three years, according to the Colorado Legislative Council.
If approved, Proposition CC would permanently take away taxpayer’s TABOR refunds and end the right to vote on TABOR refunds in the future. A resounding “no” vote will send a clear signal to revenue-hungry lawmakers and special interests that Coloradans are serious about their constitutional protections. And hopefully, public officials will think twice about continuing their assaults on TABOR or plotting to raise taxes.

: Proposition DD
This measure would decriminalize professional and college sports betting at Colorado’s three licensed casinos starting in May 2020. While NTU takes no position on whether sports betting should be legal or illegal, this measure would levy a ten percent tax on net sports betting proceeds. Even though this measure would establish a new tax, a ten percent levy is far lower than some rates imposed by other states across the country. To be clear, only casinos, or the sports betting operators that a casino contracts with would pay the 10 percent tax and does not apply to the winnings of bettors. If approved by voters, Proposition DD would allow the state to collect up to $29 million per year in revenue, but it is only estimated to generate about $16 million in tax revenue annually over the first five years. A small portion of revenues will be used to fund gambling addiction services and the Hold Harmless Fund, with the remaining 90 percent of revenue used to fund water projects and other water-related obligations that address the state’s water needs.
As is the case with every industry, policymakers should be wary of imposing excessively burdensome regulations, taxes, and fees, as they would remove the incentive to move things from the untaxed black market to the taxable and legal marketplace. A 2017 Oxford Economics study set the “high” tax rate scenario at 15 percent so this tax rate comes in at about a third lower than that “high” tax rate.

A recent study shows vaping can reduce the harm associated with smoking by as much as 95 percent, and can be as much as twice as effective as gum or patches to help users quit. It is growing ever clearer that vapor products are an innovative and effective bridge for smokers transitioning toward significantly less harmful alternatives. For years, government officials have taken steps to reduce the prevalence of tobacco usage, and the free market has produced a solution to address this serious problem.
- Measure 2H: - This measure would extend a temporary .15 percentage point sales tax which raises about $5.3 million each year. Voting against this measure will end this tax while approving this measure will continue this tax for another 20 years.

- Measure 2E: - This measure would continue a 2016-passed temporary sales tax rate of .15 which is used toward the operation and maintenance of the recreation facilities. This temporary sales tax raises a total of $845,795 in revenue and defeating this item will be a sales tax cut for consumers.
- Ballot Issue 6A: - This measure would increase property taxes by $2.8 million annually for property owners within the Louisville Fire Protection District for the emergency services.
- Measure 3C: - This measure would continue a temporary sales tax rate of .75 which is used toward the operation and maintenance of streets. It is unclear the amount of revenue this measure generates but its defeat will result in a tax cut for consumers in the city.

Town of Parker - Measure 2A: - This measure would place an excise tax of $5,000 on the construction of each new residential unit within the town. This measure would raise $7.5 million annually and would reduce the supply of new housing, leading to few options for residents to rent or buy which will increase prices.
Eagle County
- Measure 1A: - This measure would impose a new local excise tax of $.20 per cigarette, or $4 per pack, and place a 40 percent tax on the sales of other tobacco and nicotine products. These tax increase would raise about $4.5 million annually. Like all cigarette tax hikes, it would likely lead to less predictable revenues and usually lead to further tax increases. Additionally, A recent study has shown vaping can reduce the harm associated with smoking by as much as 95 percent, and can be as much as twice as effective as gum or patches to help users quit. It is growing ever clearer that vapor products are an innovative and effective bridge for smokers transitioning toward significantly less harmful alternatives. For years, government officials have taken steps to reduce the prevalence of tobacco usage, and the free market has produced a solution to address this serious problem. Support for policies that raise barriers for people to access healthier alternative will simply derail efforts to lower health care costs and disincentivize consumers to move away from harmful cigarettes.

Policies that raise barriers for people to access healthier alternative will simply derail efforts to lower health care costs and disincentivize consumers to move away from harmful cigarettes.

Maine
: Question 1: - This measure would authorize the state government to issue up to $105 million in bonds to finance transportation infrastructure projects across Maine. If approved, the total debt service cost of this bond, including principal and interest, is estimated to cost more than $130 million over a ten year window. Maine voters have a long history of approving transportation and infrastructure bond initiatives. Over the past twelve years, voters approved nine transportation bond measures totaling $780 million - excluding interest. In fact, in just the last two elections (2017 and 2018), voters approved $210 million in transportation bonds. As of June 30, 2019, Maine had $543.40 million in debt from voter-approved general obligation bonds.
Bonds can be an effective funding mechanism for expensive capital projects, as the cost is spread out over a long period of time. However, bonds can be problematic for taxpayers as the accrued interest on the principal amount makes the total cost far more expensive than the issuance cost. So while there may be an economic benefit today from construction or repairs to infrastructure, it will ultimately leave future taxpayers to cover the cost of the interest and principal.

Texas
: Proposition 2: - This measure proposes a constitutional amendment authorizing the Texas Water Development Board to issue up to $200 million in general obligation bonds for the economically distressed areas program. These bonds can only be used to provide financing for the development of water supply and sewer service projects in those economically distressed areas as defined by law. The total amount of debt service, including the principal and interest, is unclear. If the Economically Distressed Areas Program is in need of an additional $200 million in funding, this should be appropriated out of general revenue rather than increasing the debt burden on Texas citizens by issuing new general obligation bonds.
Bonds can be an effective funding mechanism for expensive capital projects, as the cost is spread out over a long period of time. However, bonds can be problematic for taxpayers as the accrued interest on the principal amount makes the total cost far more expensive than the issuance cost. So while there may be an economic benefit today from construction or repairs to infrastructure, it will ultimately leave future taxpayers to cover the cost of the interest and principal.
: Proposition 4: - This measure would codify into the state constitution language prohibiting the state from levying an income tax. Plain and simple: if a majority of voters vote in favor of this constitutional amendment, it means under no circumstances could lawmakers impose a tax on individual income. While it’s true that Texas is one of a handful of states that doesn’t already have an income tax, that doesn’t mean one couldn’t be imposed in the future. As we’ve seen on numerous occasions in other states, politicians often try to place new burdens on taxpayers to finance expensive projects and other government programs. With large spending increases on the agenda of many big government politicians, it will be increasingly difficult to hold the line on taxes. That’s why inoculating taxpayers against future tax increases is the responsible thing to do.
Codifying this constitutional provision would send a clear message to current and prospective lawmakers that Texans are serious about low taxes. Its enshrinement will ensure that no matter who controls the Governorship or the State Legislature in the future, taxpayers will never have to worry about having the state take your hard-earned money via an income tax. But most importantly, it will help insulate taxpayers and residents from the devastating consequences that result from tax increases.

Washington
REPEAL: Advisory Vote 20: - Advisory Vote 20 is a non-binding advisory referendum. If repealed, the Legislature would be advised to annul House Bill 1087, which enacted a .58 percent payroll tax to fund long-term healthcare services. This tax is estimated to generate $1 billion annually from workers to provide up to $36,500 in lifetime benefits for eligible workers to apply to the cost of their long-term care. That lifetime benefit would increase by three percent every year.
This tax is applied to every worker, regardless of income, which would greatly affect lower-income workers who would have to give the state more out of their paychecks each month. For a worker earning $50,000 a year, they will pay nearly $300 in additional tax every year, a significant expense for most average people. By taking more money out of the pockets of hard working Washingtonians, it leaves less money at the end of every month to pay their bills or save for big purchases.
While this vote will not change the law, it will show lawmakers that voters feel taxed enough and they oppose higher taxes..
Repeal: Advisory Vote 23: - Advisory Vote 23 is a non-binding advisory referendum. If repealed, the Legislature would be advised to annul House Bill 1873, which enacted a slew of taxes and regulations on vapor and e-cigarette products in Washington state. Tax increases on the sale of e-liquid, harm reduction products, and other-tobacco products is estimated to raise $177 million over the next ten years. These tax increases will hurt small businesses and job creators who sell FDA-approved harm reduction products to legal age consumers.
A recent study has shown vaping can reduce the harm associated with smoking by as much as 95 percent, and can be as much as twice as effective as gum or patches to help users quit. It is growing ever clearer that vapor products are an innovative and effective bridge for smokers transitioning toward significantly less harmful alternatives. For years, government officials have taken steps to reduce the prevalence of tobacco usage, and the free market has produced a solution to address this serious problem. Support for policies that raise barriers for people to access healthier alternative will simply derail efforts to lower health care costs and disincentivize consumers to move away from harmful cigarettes.
REPEAL: Advisory Vote 24: - Advisory Vote 24 is a non-binding advisory referendum. If repealed, the Legislature would be advised to annul House Bill 2158, which increased the Business and Occupation tax from 1.5 percent to 1.8 percent of gross revenues. This tax hike is estimated to generate more than $2.25 billion over the next decade - a significant tax increase that will affect most - if not all businesses in Washington. Revenue raised by this tax increase will go to a special account to pay for expanded higher education programs, including free tuition for families making up to $50,000 a year.
Service businesses, such as legal, insurance, engineering, and smaller software companies will have to pay a 20 percent surcharge on their current business taxes. Large computing companies with worldwide gross incomes of $25 billion to $100 billion will pay 33 percent on top of their current rate. Hi-tech and software companies with gross global income of over $100 billion are charged 66.7 percent above their current rate.
Taking capital out of businesses - particularly small businesses - makes it more difficult for them to invest in new equipment, raise wages, hire new workers, or further expand their business.
: Advisory Vote 25: - Advisory Vote 24 is a non-binding advisory referendum. If repealed, the Legislature would be advised to annul House Bill 2167, which increased the Business and Occupation tax from 1.5 percent to 2.7 percent of gross revenues on financial institutions with more than $1 billion in net income. This tax hike is estimated to generate more than $1 billion over the next decade and is unlikely to hit any Washington-state based financial institution as none meet the current threshold. This is simply another example of state lawmakers using their tax authority to hit businesses based outside their state boundaries.
Repeal: Advisory Vote 26: - Advisory Vote 26 is a non-binding advisory referendum. If repealed, the Legislature would be advised to annul Senate Bill 5881, which requires out-of-state companies to collect and remit sales tax to the states if they have more than $100,000 in gross receipts in the state. The provisions are anticipated to generate $1.05 billion in additional collections over a decade, though in the early stages, most states are seeing remote sales tax revenue come in below expectations, according to research conducted by the National Taxpayers Union Foundation.
The Supreme Court’s decision in Wayfair had far-reaching consequences. Before the Wayfair ruling in June 2018, states had to respect the precedent established in the 1992 case of Quill Corp. v. North Dakota, which said that a state could not force a business to collect its sales tax unless that business had a physical presence, or “nexus,” in their state—such as a storefront, warehouse, or full-time employees. But in Wayfair, the court threw out this precedent, opening the door for states to impose “economic nexus” taxes on any business that sells into the state, regardless of their location.
That’s had a significant effect on small businesses. Remote retailers that previously remitted sales taxes to a single jurisdiction (or none at all, if located in states without a general sales tax) were suddenly faced with the prospect of having to collect for hundreds or even thousands of the estimated 12,000 jurisdictions nationwide. The added burden of implementing extensive compliance infrastructure throughout one’s small business has left many business owners in a tough position.
Repeal: Advisory Vote 27: - Advisory Vote 27 is a non-binding advisory referendum.
