Property Tax Liability With and Without Proposition 2½

2026 levies on the median single-family home under current policy, if Proposition 2½ had been repealed in 2016, and under a hypothetical strict 2.5% levy limit adopted in 2016

Note: The median single-family home is valued at $661,590. The hypothetical strict levy limit is calculated based on the increased value of existing property, excluding new construction but not using it to further increase allowable collections from existing property. Hypotheticals involve repeal or reform of Proposition 2½ one decade ago.
