California State PTA
Opposes Prop 5
California State Proposition 5
Property Tax Transfer Initiative

Proposition 5 would amend Proposition 13 and allow homeowners who are 55 or older or severely disabled to transfer the tax-assessed value from their prior home to their new home no matter the new homes’ market value, the new home’s location within the state, and does not limit the number of times a homeowner can move.
The negative impact on the finances of schools and communities could be enormous. 
Although schools would still receive Prop 98 funding, the state budget would be negatively impacted.  CAPTA has ample authority to take an opposed position on this proposition based on the authorities cited in the attached study.
Per the Legislative Analysis Office, schools and other local governments would each probably lose about $100 million in annual property tax revenue in the first few years, growing over time to about $1 billion per year.  Property taxes are a major revenue source for local governments, raising over $60 billion per year.
Current law requires the state to provide more funding to most schools to cover their property tax losses.  As a result, state costs for schools would increase by over $100 billion per year in the first few years. Over time, these increased state costs for schools would grow to about $1 billion per year (in today’s dollars) – which is less than 1 percent of the state budget.
