Mission Statement:
The San Diego County Taxpayers Association is a non-profit, non-partisan organization, dedicated to promoting accountable, cost-effective and efficient government and opposing unnecessary taxes and fees.
Founded in 1945, the San Diego County Taxpayers Association (SDCTA) is a watchdog organization that looks out for your tax dollars.
SDCTA takes a leadership role in fiscal oversight of local government and aggressively resists unwarranted taxes and fees, discriminatory regulations and ill-advised public expenditures. We challenge local government at all levels to be accessible, responsive, efficient and fair.
Hundreds of community leaders, business managers, and concerned citizens belong and support SDCTA because they believe in its mission and they endorse its goal of promoting cost-effective and efficient government.
Join SDCTA today! We offer individual and business membership.
