Proposition 13

Question

Proposition 13

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proposition 13, passed in California in 1978, significantly limited the ability to increase property taxes by capping them at a maximum of 1% of the property's assessed value and restricted increases in assessed value to a maximum of 2% per year until the property was sold. This measure was aimed at preventing sudden and steep increases in property taxes, but it did not directly address issues related to the Equal Rights Amendment, affirmative action in university admissions, or income taxes for the wealthiest Americans.
