The measure is a way to roll back part of Proposition 13. County tax assessors would have to reassess commercial properties before property taxes could be raised. It would not touch residential properties. Proposition 15 essentially would allow county tax assessors to raise property taxes on commercial properties worth more than $3 million at more than the current annual 2% limit - even if the property has not been sold and reassessed. He simply wanted more data to understand Proposition 15 on the Nov. Webster said he didn’t have an agenda when he started the project and still doesn’t. This is how much liberals want to raise YOUR property taxes.” Another person tweeted, “Alternate framing: Hello, homeowner.
A new homeowner posted a map that shows her annual property tax of $16,700 while her neighbors on either side pay less than $1,500. One renter said her monthly rent is twice the money her landlord pays in property tax each year. With those caveats in mind, the Tax Fairness Project map shows an annual average “subsidy” of $12,000 in Los Gatos, $4,000 in San Jose and Campbell, and $12,000 in Los Altos. Examples include Zillow and Redfin.Ĭalifornia licensed home appraisers have said Zillow and Redfin are often accurate in data-rich places such as San Jose, but they can be inaccurate in other places in part because of fewer sales in an area and frequent lack of data on the interior conditions of homes. The site states that “market value” was sourced through publicly accessible, automated home valuation models. “Subsidy is defined as the difference between the actual tax and the tax the home would be paying if assessed at market value,” the website states. Levin’s website framed the vast differences that homeowners pay in property taxes as tax subsidies. Phil Levin, a San Francisco-based leader of a “car-free neighborhood” startup called Culdesac, built that interactive map with help from others.

The Santa Cruz County data shows big differences in what homeowners on the same street pay in property taxes, and it also shows owners who pay the same bill for completely different homes.įor example, at least one homeowner on West Cliff Drive pays about the same $4,800 annual property tax bill that another homeowner pays in the Beach Flats neighborhood. “The data is public but in a very unwieldy format, so the whole project seemed to lend itself to data visualization.” “Usually when I read about an issue that’s controversial and has viewpoints that I don’t see as consistent, my reaction is to find the data myself,” Webster said. “My goal here is to present the facts and the data and allow other people or other projects to draw their own conclusions,” Webster said Monday. About four weeks later, Webster’s database was online with color-coded figures that showed gaps of $10,000 or more in annual property taxes - sometimes on the same street.
