Please join us on September 7th at 11:00 a.m. for a discussion of the many November ballot initiatives that might impact your “bottom line” with more, new taxes. California’s taxes are already known for being among the highest in the country. Despite that, more and more new taxes are constantly being proposed at the state, county, and city levels of government.
Come hear what these initiatives are all about and the strategies being deployed to defeat them. Many of the proposals will create new property taxes, transfer taxes on real estate sales, gross receipts taxes, and payroll taxes for purportedly funding affordable housing, new parks, universal healthcare and much more.
WEBINAR DISCUSSION TOPICS INCLUDE:
- Los Angeles City’s proposed Measure P to fix parks and add-on more than $84 per 1,000 square feet of property in new property taxes.
- Los Angeles City’s proposed transfer tax, which will increase the tax burden on real estate transactions over $5M from 0.45% to 4.0% and over $10M to 5.5%!
- New, major threats to 1978’s Proposition 13.
- Proposed Senate Bill 679 to create new government entity that will tack on more in property taxes.
- A review of candidates and ballot measures for this upcoming November.
- And, of course, we’ll have much, much more…including Q&A to follow the presentation.

The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Foundation (HJTF) is the research, education, and legal arm of the Jarvis organization. HJTF advances the interests of taxpayers in the courtroom.

In appropriate cases, HJTF provides legal representation without cost to other taxpayer advocacy organizations, homeowners and individual taxpayers where the precedence established confers a broad public benefit to other citizens.
