Ballotpedia covers all local ballot measures in California, including hotel tax measures.

Hotel taxes are locally imposed taxes paid by guests who occupy hotels, short-term rentals, or other lodging for less than 30 days. They are also referred to as transient occupancy taxes. Cities and counties can levy hotel taxes. A hotel tax levied by a county applies to unincorporated areas of the county.[1]

Voter approval is required to impose a new hotel tax or to increase an existing tax. A hotel tax may be a general tax or a special tax.[2]

3. ↑ A special tax measure in San Diego that was approved by 65% of voters was at first called as defeated since it did not reach the two-thirds (66.67 percent) supermajority vote specified by the impartial analysis. On April 6, 2021, however, the San Diego City Council voted to declare the measure was approved based on court rulings over special taxes proposed through citizen initiative petitions.
