Buying vehicles in Huntington Beach brings needed money to our City…
Buying in HB: Buying Somewhere Else:

Cost of vehicle - $30,000 Cost of vehicle - $30,000
Money directly to HB $300 Money directly to HB $0
Consider: Our community uses money it
receives throughsales tax to help pay for critical
services. This money, some $17 million total
each year, goes in the General Fund. It is used
for Operating Expenses, Public Safety, Capital
Improvements in our neighborhoods, filling
potholes, trimming trees and fixing streets.

Let's put the $300 in perspective…
With $300 Our City could…
Fill 5 potholes at $65 each.
Trim 7 trees at $48 each.
Replace 1 street light fixture at $280.
Please consider for all your purchases:
