About San Diego County Taxpayers Association

Our mission is to support the public, civic leaders and policymakers with independent research on issues impacting taxpayers and ratepayers in San Diego County so that they can receive a better return on investment in public assets and services. The SDCTA was founded in 1945, four days after the end of World War II. As the world entered the atomic era, San Diego’s wartime economy evaporated and thousands were left unemployed. San Diego political and civic leaders were tested with what to do in this new world. And then the Association was founded by the “Broadway Barons,” a group of men from diverse professions who felt that San Diego needed an independent civic organization to monitor government spending and efficiency as San Diego navigated its future in the post-war world. Policy solutions should be scoped to the scale of the problem. The SDCTA works to reduce the need for tax revenue or taxpayer debt by advocating for policies that create efficiencies in public services, which affect San Diegans’ quality of life and against policies that disengage, disaffect, and disenfranchise the taxpayer. We believe that we at the SDCTA have the capabilities, capacities, and character to identify reasonable solutions and to produce independent advice.
