The Local Taxpayer Protection Act to Save Proposition 13

Why it’s needed: Court-created loopholes have allowed tax increases that are directly contrary to the plain language of Proposition 13. These rulings have cost Californians billions of dollars a year.

What it does: The Local Taxpayer Protection Act to Save Proposition 13 makes clear that...

• Local taxes for a special purpose require approval by two-thirds of voters to pass, even if proposed by an initiative backed by special interests.
• New real estate transfer taxes (which are like sales taxes on real estate) are prohibited, except for the modest 0.11% documentary transfer tax allowed before Proposition 13.
• Existing real estate transfer taxes (including Measure ULA in the City of Los Angeles) are repealed effective December 31, 2028, except the 0.11% documentary transfer tax allowed before Proposition 13.
