City of Yountville · Napa County · November 3, 2026
The question on your ballot
To fully utilize TOT and sales tax generated from visitors for public services, parks and recreation, police, and fire emergency programs, shall the appropriations limit set by Article 13B of the California Constitution be increased by $3,000,000 plus 1/4 of TOT revenues for the prior fiscal year, for each year for a four year period commencing FY 2027/2028? By approving this appropriation limit, no existing tax is increased and no new taxes are created.
In plain language
Measure Y asks Yountville voters to raise the town's appropriations limit. This is a yearly cap, set by the California Constitution, on how much tax money the town may spend. The ballot question says the goal is to fully use hotel (TOT) and sales tax money paid by visitors. That money would go to public services, parks and recreation, police, and fire emergency programs. A YES vote raises the cap each year for four years, starting in fiscal year 2027/2028. The ballot question says no tax would go up and no new tax would be created. A NO vote means the cap is not raised.
Fiscal impact
No tax goes up and no new tax is created, the ballot question says. The spending cap would rise by $3,000,000 plus one quarter of the prior year's TOT revenue, each year for four years starting in fiscal year 2027/2028.
