On July 16, 2024, the Manteca City Council approved a resolution to place a 3/4-cent sales tax measure on the November 2024 ballot.

The 3/4-cent sales tax increase aims to address critical needs within the City and is estimated to generate between $10 - $13 million annually. The City of Manteca’s current sales tax rate is 8.25% with 1.5% allocated directly to Manteca. If a 3/4-cent sales tax measure is approved by the voters, Manteca’s new tax rate would be 9%. The revenue generated would offset General Fund expenditures, pay for additional services and programs, and rebuild the City’s General Fund reserve.

Measure Q is aimed to:

• Fund roadway and infrastructure repairs (including potholes).
• Enhance neighborhood police patrols and crime prevention efforts.
• Enhance fire protection services and maintain emergency response times.
• Improve and increase quality of life programs and amenities such as parks, public facilities, local business support, homeless services, youth services, and other areas based on Council and community priorities.

Should Measure Q pass, a citizen’s oversight committee will be formed to review and report on the revenues and expenditures related to the sales tax measure.
