Just How Does Prop 13 Work? A Guide to Understanding California Property Taxes.

 Vote YES on 43,  the Local Taxpayer Protection Act to Save Proposition 13.

  •  Vote YES on 43,  to restore the two-thirds vote to pass local special taxes.

  •  Vote YES on 43,  to make it harder to raise your taxes!

Proposition 43 protects taxpayers by restoring Proposition 13's two-thirds vote requirement to pass local special taxes, including sales taxes, real estate taxes and utility taxes. Courts have allowed special interests to pass earmarked tax increases with fewer votes. Prop. 43 closes this loophole, protecting taxpayers, homeowners and renters.
