Proposition 13 Information

I got this neat info card from Lawyer's Title about Proposition 13 that I would love to share with everyone!

Proposition 13:

Adopted in June 1978 by the California voters, Proposition 13 substantially changed the taxation of real property.  As a result of this Constitutional amendment:

• The maximum amount of property tax cannot exceed 1% of the property's assessed value, plus any bonds or fees approved by the voters.
• Real property can only be reappraised upon a change of ownership or new construction.  Business and personal property, including boats, airplanes, and certain restricted properties are subject to annual appraisal.
• The value determined at change of ownership or new construction is increased each year by an inflation index not to exceed 2% per year.  This inflation-adjusted value is called the "factored base year value."
• Properties purchase before March 1st, 1975 will have a base year value of the 1975 assessed value.
