2009 House Bill 4882

Revise Proposal A “pop up” to reflect declining home values

Introduced in the House

May 5, 2009

Introduced by Rep. Brian Calley (R-87)

To replace the current Proposal A “pop-up” in which the state equalized value (SEV, meaning market value) of newly-sold property becomes the basis for its property tax assessment, rather than the capped “taxable value” of the previous owner. Instead, the new taxable value would be the home’s SEV times the ratio between the SEV of all homes sold in the area in the previous year and the taxable value of all homes sold in the community the previous year.

Referred to the Committee on Tax Policy
