Exceptional news (but don’t hold your breath just yet) – a bill has been introduced in the California Legislature to repeal the costly property tax increases imposed on property owners’ heirs by Proposition 19 (which causes, in most cases, a reassessment of real estate upon the death of the owner, no longer allowing for the long-standing parent-child exclusions)
Yes! Indeed, many owners elect to gift or partially gift their homes to their children now, for many reasons, including current favorable gift tax allowances / exemptions. A gift of equity is a remarkably easy way to allow your child to obtain a traditional loan without any down payment….
Good news for those seeking to gift or inherit real estate in 2023, the IRS applicable taxable exclusion amount for gifts (the total amount exempted from gift and/or estate tax) is raised to$12,920,000 ($12.92mm) per person, or $25,840,000 ($25.84mm) for a married couple filing jointly.

Your California 2022-2023 Property Tax Bills have arrived! The first installments can be paid until December 12, 2022, second installments by April 10, 2023.
Efforts to repeal Proposition 19’s costly Death Tax On Inherited Property have fallen short for the November ballot initiative. Over 402,000 signatures were obtained to repeal those provisions of Prop 19 which wiped out former Propositions 58 and 193 (those propositions allowed parents to transfer their ‘prop 13 basis’ or ‘proposition 13 basis’ to their children; now no longer due to Prop 19’s changes, thus causing a substantial ‘death tax’ on California inherited property).
Good news for those seeking to gift or inherit real estate in 2022, the IRS applicable exclusion amount for gifts (the total amount exempted from gift and/or estate tax) is raised to $12,060,000 ($12.06mm) per person, or $24,120,000 ($24.12mm) for a married couple filing jointly.
Efforts to ‘reinstate 58’ and ‘repeal’ the inheritance tax portions of Proposition 19 are underway by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayer Association.
Editorial Summary
California Proposition 19 is a massive property tax hike on the next generation of property owners. It wipes out the current Proposition 58 and Proposition 193 family transfer benefits, effective February 16, 2021. This is potentially the largest property tax increase in California history… but it will only impact the next generations; this is a new death tax and inheritance tax on real property owners’ heirs.
What is my new property tax if I move under the Proposition 19 portability feature?
Proposition 19, new for 2021, has two main components, portability and inheritance. This article will focus on the portability aspects.
