Why Property Tax Limitations Won't Limit Everyone's Taxes.
Picus, Larry
Property tax limitation measures passed in 1978 by voters in California and Idaho contain provisions that apparently will reduce the equity of the property tax system in both states. Changes in assessment practices mandated by the new laws will shift the property tax burden away from business and commercial property and toward residential property and will result in situations in which individuals with comparable property will be taxed differently. Schools facing declining revenues due to limitations on commercial property taxes could find it difficult to obtain relief from voters whose residential property taxes continue to rise. (Author/PGD)
