What is Prop 13?

Proposition 13 was approved by California voters in June of 1978 and limits the tax rate for real property (real estate) to 1% of the full cash value of such property. In layman's terms, this keeps your property taxes from adjusting each year to the value of the home and instead limits the annual increases to a maximum of 2% per year.

Can you transfer your Prop 13 taxes to another property?

The simple answer is yes, you can transfer your property tax to another home assuming you meet the eligibility requirements. The main requirement is that you are 55 years of age or older and that the home is your primary residence. There are other requirements as well.
