Measure CT

City of El Segundo · Los Angeles County · November 3, 2026

The question on your ballot

Shall an Ordinance amending the City's Business License Tax Ordinance to restore and impose a business license tax on nonprofit organizations that do not serve a charitable purpose, and also to exempt charitable organizations from having to pay a business license tax, thereby indefinitely restoring approximately $700,000 general funds annually, be adopted?

In plain language

Measure CT changes El Segundo's business license tax rules. It would bring back a business license tax for nonprofits that do not serve a charitable purpose. It would also let charitable organizations skip paying this tax. A YES vote adopts this change. It keeps about $700,000 a year in the city's general fund. A NO vote does not make this change.

Fiscal impact

This restores about $700,000 in general fund revenue each year. It is ongoing, with no end date.
