Does Proposition 13 benefit people who don own property?
A. While Proposition 13 has become synonymous with property tax limits, it is a complete package designed to check arbitrary tax increases at the state and local level. Proposition 13 requires a two-thirds vote of the Legislature to increase state taxes, and, supplemented by Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association-sponsored Proposition 218, the Right to Vote on Taxes Act, it requires voter approval of all new local taxes.
