I agree with you. Particularly on prop 13.

Prop 13 is not the answer. Lower tax rates. Problem solved

Yes and certainly every time they are sold

This seems like a pretty big thing for you and the lender to both not be aware of

Are you serious? Whoops! Kind of important to know how much property tax is

Rest assured that money will be put to good use

Tax is based on the sale price/ assessed value, no?

I know it sucks, but Prop 13 did not double the tax. Prop 13 kept the previous owner's property tax from rising up to

This. w/o you're worse off. Prop 13 protects the homeowner.

Did you read what I wrote? I said it doubled the tax that the former owner paid

idacoug

8/2/21 11:10pm

Yes, I understood what you said in your OP. I once lived the California dream, so I understand how Prop 13 works.

Prop 13 saved people from losing their homes

Prop 13 is an absolute nightmare and a perfect example of how government is so ineffective at solving problems

YIsForBrigham

8/2/21 11:01pm

The CA government has been dysfunctional for a very long time. Prop 13 is just one example.

Lower the tax rate

Amen to that, but also good luck with that.

Prop 13 was a proposition by the residents. Both state and local govt opposed it

Yes, but it was in response to a problem that the state legislature refused to address. Eventually, the taxpayers

If you bought any cars out of state in the last year, CA will want sales tax.
