Support state amendment to raise commercial property taxes while protecting homes
<UNKNOWN>
Resolution 64-15
In Plain English
California's Proposition 13 caps property tax increases for both homes and businesses. SCA 5 would keep those protections for residential properties and small businesses but allow larger commercial properties to be taxed at current market value. This could generate more revenue for local services like schools and infrastructure.
