The question on your ballot
Without raising taxes, to improve and protect Sonoma County’s regional and neighborhood parks; safeguard water supplies, streams, rivers; reduce future wildfire risk; preserve fish and wildlife habitat; conserve natural areas for future generations; expand walking, hiking, and biking trails; shall Sonoma County continue a one-eighth-cent special transaction and use tax (sales tax) countywide until ended by voters, providing approximately $15.5 million annually, with community oversight, public disclosure, and annual audits?
In plain language
Measure H would continue a one-eighth cent special sales tax across Sonoma County. The ballot question says the money would go to parks, water supplies, streams and rivers, wildfire risk reduction, fish and wildlife habitat, natural areas, and trails. The tax would last until voters end it. There would be community oversight, public reports and yearly audits. A YES vote continues the tax. A NO vote means this measure does not continue the tax.
Fiscal impact
Continues a one-eighth cent sales tax countywide, raising about $15.5 million a year until ended by voters.
