Distribution of property tax

Proposition 13 (1978) limits the property tax rate to one percent of the property’s assessed value plus the rate necessary to fund local voter-approved debt. It also limits increases on assessed values to two percent per year on properties with no change of ownership or no new construction.

Countywide 1% maximum tax levy distribution

The county enforces a 1% maximum tax levy on all property tax bills. This pie chart shows the distribution of that levy. In addition to this 1%, there are voter approved bonds that are included on top of the 1% maximum tax levy. Those bonds are not included as part of the distribution in this chart.
