IMPORTANT TAX IMPLICATIONS

California
The basic premise of California Proposition 13 is to protect the consumer.
Proposition 13 also is intended to give new homeowners predictable property taxes. Property taxes are levied once a year. The tax "rate" is applied to the value of your home to determine your tax bill.

The tax rate of Proposition 13 is between 1.1% and 1.25%. The variance is dependant upon on each county's additional tax policies, if any. If a home has a value of $250,000, for example, the annual property tax in California ranges from $2,750 to $3,125.

The assumption behind the proposition is that new owners pay about 1/3 of the property taxes that they would without Proposition 13. The initiative is intended to keep the general level of property taxation lower and fairer.

In most states, when property values increase, so does the property tax bill. In some states If value doubles, so does the annual tax. Proposition 13 limits the maximum allowable tax increase to 2% of the prior years total tax per year (not 2% of value). Proposition 13 makes way for new buyers to know exactly what their taxes will be next year, in five years, and in 30 years. California believes this is reassuring information for those who plan to live in their homes when they retire.
