Rancho Santa Fe property owners in the Harris Annex could see a new $1,000-per-parcel road tax under a measure heading to voters on Tuesday, Nov. 3. Solana Beach hotel guests would also pay more under a separate measure raising the city's hotel tax from 13% to 14%.

Measure C in Solana Beach and Measure Q in Rancho Santa Fe's Harris Annex are among nine local ballot measures across North County on the November ballot, The Coast News Group reported Oct. 22. Here is what each would do.

Measure C: Solana Beach hotel tax

Measure C would raise Solana Beach's transient occupancy tax from 13% to 14%. The tax applies to hotel and short-term rental stays.

Revenue would stay under city control and fund local projects rather than being redirected by county, state or federal agencies, according to The Coast News. If the measure fails, the rate stays at 13%.

The measure needs a simple majority to pass.

Supporters say it provides a public, accountable way to address city needs, according to The Coast News. Opponents say the increase would hurt local businesses. The Coast News did not name specific supporters or opponents of the measure.

Measure Q: Harris Annex road tax

Measure Q would replace the existing annual parcel tax in Rancho Santa Fe's Harris Annex with a new, larger special tax dedicated to road maintenance.

The new tax would cost $1,000 per year for each developed parcel and $375 for each undeveloped parcel. Annual inflation adjustments of up to 5%, tied to the Los Angeles Construction Cost Index, could push those amounts higher over time, according to KPBS.

The tax would begin in fiscal year 2027-28 and remain in effect until modified or dissolved by law. It has no sunset date.

Current funding for the Harris Annex roads falls short of what is needed for repairs and ongoing upkeep, according to KPBS, citing a county report. The roads are legacy private roads in the county's Permanent Road Division program.

Measure Q needs two-thirds voter approval to pass. That is a significantly higher bar than Measure C's simple majority.

Reform California and the Republican Party of San Diego County oppose the measure, according to KPBS. KPBS listed no named supporters.

Opponents say the tax is costly and could lead to contracts being awarded to political allies, according to The Coast News. Supporters say it would provide long-term funding for roads the county lacks sufficient money to maintain.

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3. Measure Q's two-thirds threshold means roughly one in three voters can block it, while Measure C needs only a simple majority.
