The California Constitution generally limits ad valorem taxes on real property to 1% of the full cash value of that property. For purposes of this limitation, "full cash value" is defined as the assessor's valuation of real property as shown on the 1975–76 tax bill under "full cash value" or, thereafter, the appraised value of that real property when purchased, newly constructed, or a change in ownership has occurred. The California Constitution, in the case of property that is substantially damaged or destroyed, as defined, by a disaster, as declared by the Governor, requires the Legislature to provide for the transfer of base year value, to a comparable property within the same county that is acquired or newly constructed as a replacement for the substantially damaged or destroyed property, and authorizes the Legislature, if a county ordinance so providing has been adopted, to provide for the transfer of base year value to comparable replacement property of equal or lesser value that is located within another county. This measure would additionally require the Legislature to provide for the transfer of base year value of property that is substantially damaged or destroyed by a disaster, as declared by the Governor, occurring on or after January 1, 2017, to July 1, 2018, to comparable property located within the same or a different county that is acquired or newly constructed as a replacement for the substantially damaged or destroyed property. The measure would limit this provision to intercounty transfers of base year value that occur on or after the effective date of the measure.
