Stop Tax Hikes & Save Prop 13

California’s working families are already struggling with a high cost of living and state and local politicians are making it worse by constantly trying to raise taxes and spike our utility rates.

California politicians are specifically trying to repeal Prop 13 — and pass a blizzard of other tax hike proposals, including a Mileage Tax, a tax on moving out of state, and hundreds of local, utility, and sales tax increases!

That’s why Reform Local Government is helping to lead the campaign to block any more tax hikes and pass a powerful state constitutional amendment: The Local Taxpayer Protection Initiative.

The Local Taxpayer Protection Initiative is supported by a broad coalition led by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayer Association. Learn about the measure below, then print, sign, and mail back the petition to get it on the ballot in 2026!

What the Local Taxpayer Protection Initiative Does:

• Requires that local tax hikes achieve a two-thirds voter approval to pass — not a simple majority — even if proposed by an initiative backed by special interests
• Prohibits new real estate transfer taxes
• Repeals existing real estate transfer taxes (except the 0.11% documentary transfer tax allowed prior to Proposition 13).

We need YOUR HELP immediately in this fight. Contribute, sign up to volunteer, and sign and share the petition with your friends!
