The City of Monterey Park held an informational webinar on September 14, 2026, to discuss Ballot Measure AAA, which proposes an increase in the transient occupancy tax (TOT) rates. The measure seeks to raise the tax from 13% to 14% for traditional hotels and motels, and from 13% to 16% for short-term rentals such as Airbnb and VRBO. The city projects this adjustment would generate approximately $600,000 in additional annual revenue, increasing total TOT revenues to about $5.1 million for the 2027-2028 fiscal year. All revenues would remain local and be allocated to the city's general fund to support city services including street repairs and anti-crime initiatives. The presentation included data on current compliance rates for short-term rental registrations and emphasized that the measure requires a simple majority vote to pass. No procurement contracts or vendor selections were discussed during the meeting.
