Cupertino Considers Tax Hike as Budget Pressures Mount

Cupertino officials are exploring a potential tax increase and have directed staff to survey residents about their willingness to pay more as the city faces growing financial pressures. One option under consideration is raising the utility users tax, which could potentially double and apply to services such as electricity, gas, and telecommunications.

City leaders are also reviewing other revenue strategies, including a possible sales tax increase and updates to the city’s business license tax, which has not been significantly revised in years. These discussions come as expenses continue to rise, particularly for public safety services and other essential operations.

Officials say additional revenue may be necessary to maintain service levels and avoid cuts to infrastructure and community programs. The results of the resident survey will help guide decisions on whether to move forward with a tax measure in a future election.
