Los Angeles City Council to weigh changes to Measure ULA

Los Angeles voters could be asked as early as June 2026 to reconsider how the city’s voter-approved “mansion tax” works, as City Council members move to amend Measure ULA amid concerns the tax is slowing housing construction and could face a broader statewide rollback.

A motion introduced Friday by Councilmember Nithya Raman and seconded by Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson would place a measure on the June 2, 2026 ballot to amend Measure ULA, a real estate transfer tax approved by nearly 60% of voters in 2022.
