Local Revenue Measure
FY 2026-27 Supplemental Budget
The Local Revenue Measure (LRM) is a 1.5 percent local sales tax approved by City voters in November
2020 that went into effect on April 1, 2021. It replaced the previous 0.5 percent local sales tax approved
by City voters in November 2014. The revenue provided by this measure has become instrumental in
maintaining public infrastructure and delivering critical operating programs to address emerging needs
identified by the community.
Local Revenue Measure Ballot Language (G-20)
“To protect City of San Luis Obispo’ s financial stability; maintain fire/community safety, health
emergency/disaster preparedness; protect creeks from pollution; address homelessness; keep public
areas clean/ safe; retain local businesses; maintain youth/senior services, streets, open space/natural
areas, and other general services, by extending voter - approved funding at a 1.5¢ rate, providing
approximately $21,600,000 annually until ended by voters; requiring audits/ all funds used locally”
Revenue Forecast
The Local Revenue Measure forecast was provided by the City’s sales tax consultants in April 2026 based
on actual results through December 2025. This forecast is based on data segmented at the industry
group level with unique growth rates for each, and factors in known business openings and closures.
The forecast, detailed below, assumes modest growth rates in the current fiscal year and the next after
several years of sub inflationary growth.
Budget by Priority
