If approved by a majority of the voters, the measure would adopt an ordinance increasing the transient occupancy tax (“TOT”) in the City of Tustin from 10% to 13%. The TOT is imposed on persons who rent rooms at hotels located within Tustin’s city limits. The TOT is collected by the hotels along with the room rental charge and then transmitted by the hotel operator to the City of Tustin. Revenue from the TOT is placed in the City of Tustin’s general fund and used for general city functions including police, public safety, street maintenance, and parks and recreations. The measure was placed on the ballot by the City Council of Tustin. [2] |
