Abstract:

This study sought to examine the inequalities in property taxes paid by commercial property owners across the state in a post-Proposition 13 world. The results show that huge disparities exist across the state among substantially similar properties and these disparities are likely to increase in the years ahead if Proposition 13, as it applies to commercial properties, remains unchanged.
