Get educated about your taxpayer rights.

Over the years, two key propositions backed by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association have served as the foundation for a successful defense of taxpayers' rights.

Proposition 13:
Your property taxes

Proposition 13 prevents property tax rate increases from exceeding 1 percent of the property's market value, and valuations from growing by more than 2% per annum unless the property was sold. Learn more.

Proposition 218:
Your right to vote on all local taxes

Proposition 218 gives you the right to vote on all local taxes, and requires taxpayer approval of assessments and property-related fees. Now bureaucrats can't find sneaky ways to raise revenues! Learn more.
