The city of Mission will ask residents to increase the current one-quarter cent sales tax to a three-eighths cent sales tax with a special election in September. Why it matters: The city uses the current one-quarter percent sales tax for budget items related specifically to transportation, according to city documents. Mission residents have repeatedly identified streets and maintenance as a top priority, prompting the conversation about a sales tax renewal, according to the city. Background: Mission’s quarter-cent sales tax will sunset in March 2022 and is currently used to pay off previous street improvements.
