ACA 9 California Assembly · 2021-2022 Regular Session

A resolution to propose to the people of the State of California an amendment to the Constitution of the State, by amending Section 2.1 of Article XIII A thereof, relating to taxation.

Summary
The California Constitution limits the amount of ad valorem taxes on real property to 1% of the full cash value of that property, defined as the county assessor's valuation of real property as shown on the 1975–76 tax bill and, thereafter, the appraised value of the real property when purchased, newly constructed, or a change in ownership occurs after the 1975 assessment, subject to an annual inflation adjustment not to exceed 2%. The California Constitution, until February 15, 2021, excluded from classification as a "purchase" or "change in ownership" requiring reppraisal the purchase or transfer of a principal residence and the first $1,000,000 of other real property of a transferor in the case of a transfer between parents and their children, or between grandparents and their grandchildren if all the parents of those grandchildren are deceased. On November 3, 2020, the voters approved Proposition 19. Pursuant to Proposition 19, the California Constitution, on and after February 16, 2021, removes the above-described exclusion from classification as a "purchase" and "change in ownership" requiring reappraisal, and instead excludes from classification as a "purchase" and "change in ownership" the purchase or transfer of a family home or family farm, as those terms are defined, of the transferor in the case of a transfer between parents and their children, or between grandparents and their grandchildren if all the parents of those grandchildren are deceased, if the property continues as the family home or family farm of the transferee. In the case of the exclusion so provided to a transfer of a family home, the California Constitution, pursuant to Proposition 19, requires the transferee to claim the homeowner's or disabled veteran's exemption within one year of the transfer. This measure would repeal the above-described provisions of Proposition 19. The measure would reinstate the prior rule excluding from classification as a "purchase" or "change in ownership" requiring reappraisal the purchase or transfer of the principal residence and the first $1,000,000 of other real property of a transferor in the case of a transfer between parents and their children, or between grandparents and their grandchildren if all the parents of those grandchildren are deceased. The measure would apply retroactively to all effected purchases or transfers occurring on or after February 16, 2021.
