General Fund Revenue
Property Taxes
Article XIIIA of the State Constitution (Proposition 13) provides that property is assessed at its 1975 fair market value until it changes ownership. When ownership changes, the assessed value is redetermined based on the property's current market value. New construction is assessed at fair market value when construction is completed. A property's base year value may be increased by an inflation factor, not to exceed two percent annually.
Although the property tax is generally considered a local revenue source, the amount of property tax generated each year has a substantial impact on the state budget because local property tax revenues allocated to K-14 schools offset General Fund expenditures. Assessed value growth is estimated based on twice-yearly surveys of the 58 county assessors and evaluation of real estate trends. Assessed value is estimated to grow 11.9 percent in 2006-07 and 9.8 percent in 2007-08.
