As Proposition 19 officially goes into effect on April 1st, there are a few things you should know to help your clients take advantage of this expanded tax savings program.
Your clients may be able to buy and sell right now as long as the sale takes place on or after April 1st to obtain the tax savings under Prop 19. Freeing up inventory and allowing people to move more freely is one of the reasons Prop 19 passed so smoothly, ensuring California’s housing will benefit from removing restrictions on transferring property taxes. Aimed at supporting those most in need, Prop 19 targets people with severe disabilities, victims of wildfire and natural disasters, and homeowners age 55+.
Under Prop 19, seniors, retirees, and all homeowners aged 55+ can move closer to family, medical care, or to a home that better meets their needs anywhere in California without a tax penalty.
Prop 19 removed unfair location and price restrictions, allowing older homeowners to transfer the tax base of their home to a new home.*
