Information About Measure V

On July 27th, the Riverside City Council placed Measure V on the November 2nd ballot. Measure V is a hotel tax paid ONLY by hotel and motel guests. Riverside residents, homeowners or property owners – who are not hotel/motel guests – are NOT taxed.

If approved by voters, Measure V funds would be used to keep our City on the right fiscal track, stimulate local economic growth, market Riverside to attract more visitors by improving the visitors and convention facilities and services, and maintain essential services that are impacted by visitors such as public safety, 9-1-1 emergency response, park, library and community services.
