DESCRIPTION
A county-by-county look at who pays the most property taxes under California's Proposition 13
Citation preview
New data confirms continued shift of property tax burden to residential property
What has happened to the property tax in the Great Recession? In 2010, the California Tax Reform issued a study (click here) which showed a long-term historic reduction in the share of the property tax paid by commercial property, and a substantial increase in the share paid by residential property.
Our new data shows that, even in the wake of the housing implosion of 2008-2012, the long-term reduction in the share of the property tax paid by commercial property has continued, and has gotten more pronounced in many cases. And, in those counties hardest hit by the housing crash, the short-term reduction in the share paid by residential property was small compared to the overall shift away from commercial property since Proposition 13 was enactedin 1978.
The conclusion is inescapable: in the last 35 years, the share of the property tax burden paid bycommercial/industrial property has declined steadily. In the 1970s, residential property bore about 55% of the burden, and close to 50-50 in many counties. In 2011-12, residential propertybore between 70%and 75% of the roll. The Legislative Analyst reports that residential property is now 71% of the roll, business property is now 28% of the roll, with commercial/industrial at 22% and agricultural property at 6%.

The Legislative Analyst confirms in their reports (here and here) that, while this aggregate data is only recently available, the county-by-county historical data anecdotally shows a major shift. This report demonstrates this shift on a county-by-county basis: nearly every county has had a long-term reduction in the proportion of the property tax paid by commercial property. While the available data in some of the smaller counties is limited, the larger counties have very reliable data which show the shift on a year-over-year basis.

Los Angeles
Los Angeles County represents about 25% of all the property tax paid in the state, and they have kept excellent data over time. Los Angeles represents a good microcosm of the state since1975: suburban residential expansion, substantial economic growth, two major recessions which hit Los Angeles hard, and the growth of high-end housing and commercial development.
Los Angeles County distribution of the property tax roll over time:
Source: Los Angeles County Assessor Annual Report
This chart shows that property tax revenues from housing have increased at more than twice the rate that commercial property has increased. The total residential roll at $44.4 billion is close to commercial-industrial values at $38.8 billion. It has increased since 1975 by $745 billion while the commercial/industrial roll has increased by $302 billion. That increase was greatest in single-family homes, which increased by 19.4 times while commercial-industrial increased by 8.8 times, or less than half the rate of increase.
Housing in Los Angeles County was hit particularly hard in the early 1990s, when defense industry cutbacks led to a recession in the housing market, as well as the 2008-09 recession where Los Angeles County home prices declined considerably and for a substantial period of time. Yet the share of the property tax paid by housing continued to grow steadily and commercial industrial continues to lag considerably. While there were slight reversals in two periods, and most recently during the housing collapse, that trend has turned around again.

Santa Clara
Santa Claras story is perhaps more dramatic. Again, the assessors office has excellent long-term data. The period since the passage of Proposition 13 showed a world-class explosion of high-tech industry in Santa Clara, adding some of the worlds largest companies that had not even existed before this time ((Google, Apple). Yet commercial property has paid a steadily reduced share of the property tax. San Francisco
San Francisco presents an unusual case because its population has not grown very much but it has seen substantial commercial development. That should provide a counter-example. But it does not: housingcontinues to represent a greater and greater share of the tax roll, despite the lack of substantial population growth over this period. It has experienced a recent reversal, so it remains to be seen whichdirection it will take in the future, with the prospect of substantially increased commercial development along with recovering housing values.
San Bernardino and Riverside
In this new report we also wanted to examine the impact of the housing crisis since our last report. To some extent, some part of the shift to residential property is likely to stem from a highly-inflated housing market as a result of the housing bubble. We expected that there would be somewhat of a shiftback, demonstrated by counties at the center of the housing crisis. But even with the implosion of the housing market in those counties, only a small part of the shift is accounted for. It remains to be seen what directions these counties will take in the future.
Some other counties demonstrate a shift back as well, but none of provides a major reversal of the direction. See the statistical tables, below, for every county in the state.
Is there a counter-argument? Examining the claims of Cal-Tax
There are many potential reasons for this shift, and further research is needed to explain it. Below, we suggest a number of potential explanations to be examined. This data has been available for several years and its accuracy has never been contested, since it is based on all publicly-available data sources. The Board of Equalization is finally collecting data in greater detail on a regular basis, so we will be able to follow, year over year, the direction of the change. At an overall 22% of the roll, we would be

surprised if the share held by commercial property can continue to drop significantly more, although there may be variations among counties.
However, defenders of the current system of property taxation have never acknowledged these figures nor sought to explain them. The California Taxpayers Association, representing large businesses, recently issued a report (here) which in no way challenges these numbers. Instead, they provide an alternate set of numbers which claim that no shift has occurred. How can we explain the differences?
Cal-Tax uses statewide data solely on the percentage of the roll occupied by single-family homeowners who have claimed homeowners exemptions. While there has been somewhat of a burden shiftfrom 32% of the tax roll, up to 40%, now currently 38% for houses with homeowners exemptionit has been smaller than the overall shift away from commercial property.
There are several flaws in this approach. First, their data does not even look at pre-Prop 13they look only at data beginning in 1980, after reassessment to 1975 values for current homeowners occurred andafter post-Prop. 13 transfers began. Beyond that, however, Cal-Tax has acknowledged that all other single-family homes, duplexes, rented condos, and second homes, as well as apartments, are consideredbusiness property. The only property they identify as residential are owner-occupied homes which have filed homeowners exemptions. Further, the data does not examine each county but only looks statewide.
Also, their data never examines each county. Rather, they take an aggregate number on a statewide basis, use a favorable base year, define residential property as business if there is no homeowners exemption, and attempt to argue that the shift has been limited. In the Cal-Tax story, the role between homeowners and other property, starting after Prop. 13, has grown relatively equally. The charts above from Los Angeles or from any other counties, are completely ignored.
But those who have examined the roll in any detail knows that a good share15%-20%--are single family homes without homeowner exemptions. What are these properties? In some cases they are homeowners who have not filed a homeowner exemption. In others, family members rather than the homeowner may be living there. They may be a single rental of a former family home. They may be owned by landlords owning only one home or companies that own many homes. They may be second homes and vacation homes. But for most of these properties, when they are sold, they cannot avoid reassessment. For whatever reason, the growth in the residential role, particularly single-family residential (as demonstrated by the Los Angeles data), has been undeniable.
Unlike Cal-Tax, the assessors, the Board of Equalization and importantly, the Legislative Analyst make a clear delineation: commercial and industrial vs. residential. Cal-Tax has ignored the distinctions made bythe official data. The result is that their numbers about assessment are equally wrongthey fail to use the standard definition of commercial/industrial and instead claim that people renting their home, have a second home, rent a unit of their home, have their family living there instead of themselves, have duplexes or triplexes or fail to file an HOE are the same as commercial and industrial property.

The problem with this misrepresentation of the data (i.e. residential considered to be business) is that it denies the ability to have a discussion about underlying causes. There is no confusion about the reality of the data on a county-by-county basis. It may be possible to show, based on research, that the reasons for the shift are economic and not based on the property tax system. We intend to keep researching those questions. That is, the debate should be over causes of the shift, not the denial of factual reality.
Why the shift?
This data does not answer the question with regard to why this shift is happening. We have a hypothesis about this data which has not yet been proven, and needs further discussion.
What are the possible reasons:
1. Our hypothesis: the re-assessment of commercial property lags the re-assessment of residential property in the change of ownership system. Thus the assessment ratio, that is, the ratio of commercial property to market value is lower the than ratio of housing value to market value. That number is more difficult to examine, because market values are not well known. But we have seen many cases of wildly varying land values in the same locations for commercial property, and less for residential. This hypothesis requires further examination
2. The relative values of housing and commercial property have changed. It is possible that housing has become much more valuable than commercial property, and that a higher percentage of our economy isgoing into residential property than commercial. The huge variation in land values may contradict this, but it would appear that the speculative bubble that occurred in housing values did not affect commercial in the same way. However, even post-speculative bubble, the shift continued. This hypothesis also merits examination, in terms of commercial growth vs. housing growth.
3. It is possible that similar changes have occurred in other states in the property tax, and that housing takes up a far larger percentage of the property tax roll everywhere. We have so far not found historicaldata on the division of the roll in other states, but further research will be needed.
4. We will also need to further examine the data on the commercial roll in terms of how it reflects economic growth, in counties and localities as well as statewide. Adjusted for inflation, population growth, and economic growth, the property tax collects significantly less than it did prior to Proposition 13, which can explain the strain on the public sector and on other revenue sources. Again, this data will need to be developed in greater detail.

The data
The following provides the county-by-county data, as well as percentages, that we have organized for this report. The data is taken from public sources which are not entirely consistent but are always very close in terms of results. The most recent data comes from Board of Equalization reports, which in 2011began to collect far more detailed data about the assessment roll from the counties. Some county assessors, as cited in the data, kept very good records over time, while others were not as good. In different years, those counties reported this data to the BOE, which explains why the years cited are not all the same, and some do not pre-date Prop. 13. We also double-checked the accuracy of the public data with DataQuick, a private database which purchases assessors data, and generally found that the results were consistent, although there were occasional discrepancies. None of those discrepancies in any material way affect the outcomes. That is, the differences in the numbers were small.
We should note that there are some wide differences among the counties, which reflects their different histories and economic base. While most of the large counties show similar patterns, it is our intent to look more carefully at this data in terms of what may account for some of those differences. The questions of development and land use over this period need examination.
