Q: Is my home subject to Prop 13 and, if so, how does Prop 13 work?

by | Aug 14, 2024 | Q&A |

A: Yes, all properties in California are subject to Prop 13! Prop 13 provides 3 very important functions in property tax assessments in California:

1. All real property must have an established base year value

2. All real property has a restricted rate of increase on assessments of no greater than 2% each year

3. All real property has a limit on property taxes of 1% of the assessed value (plus additional voter-approved taxes).
