The Oxnard City Council voted June 16, 2026 to place the "City of Oxnard Public Safety, Financial Stability Measure (No Tax Rate Increase)" on the November 3, 2026 ballot. Measure O is a ½ cent sales tax approved by 65% of voters in 2008 that funds police and fire protection, 911 response, street maintenance, youth and senior programs, and homelessness services; it expires March 2029 unless renewed. If approved, the city's 9.25% sales tax rate remains unchanged and existing accountability provisions including independent audits and citizen oversight continue. Expiration would reduce Oxnard's annual revenues by approximately $20 million beginning in early 2029. Election materials are available for public examination through June 29, 2026 at the City Clerk's Office and oxnard.gov/ballotmeasures.
