A Public Safety and Essential City Services Measure
Measure X was a ballot initiative on the November 2018 ballot that increased Oceanside’s sales tax 1/2 cent for a period for seven years, beginning on April 1, 2019. Measure X passed on November 6, 2018, with 55.7% of Oceanside’s vote. Starting April 1, 2019, the sales tax rate in Oceanside is 8.25%.
Measure X revenue is used solely to enhance public safety, improve road conditions, bolster the City’s infrastructure, provide no-cost youth programming with a mentoring component, and aid in homelessness. The expenditures are reviewed by a Citizen Oversight Committee, which makes recommendations to the City Council.
On June 26, 2024, the Oceanside City Council approved a resolution to add the question of a renewal of Measure X to the November General Election ballot. Staff Report
