The tax has been levied on property owners since 1934

Many property owners in the city of San Diego do not buy an annual pass to the zoo, but they do pay an annual tax.

Known as a mill tax, it was established in 1934 and is levied annually. The San Diego City Council is scheduled to discuss continuing the tax at the same rate Tuesday. Attorney John Stump has spoken at past council hearings on the tax, which he has said was intended to be an emergency fix, not a permanent levy. Stump said he plans to address the council again on Tuesday, but there has not been an organized opposition to it during past meetings, and no public comments about it have been submitted for Tuesday’s meeting.he said about the 1934 vote. “The tax was to cover the small municipal zoo that Parks and Recreation was running.

“There are not policies or written procedures for handling the zoo fund,” he wrote in the report. “In general, we found little evidence of ongoing, regular communication between the city and the zoo on fund budgeting issues.”
