What is proposition 13 and how does it benefit me?
Proposition 13 gives homeowners long-term security by providing predictability in taxes. Property taxes are levied once a year. The tax “rate” is applied to the value of your home to determine your tax bill. Proposition 13 helps you by limiting the maximum tax rate to 1%. If a home has a value of $250,000, the owner will see a tax bill of $2,500. For more information visit our Prop 13 page.
