California Assembly passes Prop. 13 commercial property fix

Published by Lance on

fix-itThe state Assembly passed a bill that would narrow the definition of an ownership change for property reassessments under Proposition 13.
Assembly Bill 2372 represents a compromise between pro-business interest groups and Democrats who wanted to close a perceived loophole in the law.  The bill by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, a San Francisco Democrat, would trigger a reassessment when at least 90 percent of property ownership changes in a three-year period.
You can find the full text of the amended Assembly bill at this link. It is worth a read and we have linked to various editorial commentary at the bottom of this newsletter on the opinions of the effect of this change if it becomes law.
