How will the Utility User Tax money be spent?
A 3% Utility User Tax generates approximately $1.5 million annually for the City. The money raised from the Utility User Tax allows the City to properly maintain the essential public safety levels, your streets, and other actions necessary to maintain property values and sustain quality of life of Rancho Palos Verdes. Although the funds may be used in all areas, the City Council adopted a Resolution memorializing their intent to use the funds generated from the Utility User Tax for public safety, road and street maintenance and reconstruction, and other necessary capital projects.
