Local government financing: affordable housing and public infrastructure: voter approval.<\/p>\n<p>(1)\u00a0The California Constitution prohibits the ad valorem tax rate on real property from exceeding 1% of the full cash value of the property, subject to certain exceptions.<\/p>\n<p>This measure would create an additional exception to the 1% limit that would authorize a city, county, city and county, or special district\u00a0to levy an ad valorem tax to service bonded indebtedness incurred to fund the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or replacement of public infrastructure,\u00a0affordable housing,\u00a0or permanent supportive housing, or the acquisition or lease of real property for those purposes,\u00a0if the proposition proposing that tax is approved by 55% of the voters of the city, county, or city and county, as applicable, and the proposition includes specified accountability requirements.\u00a0The measure would specify that these provisions apply to any city, county, city and county, or special district measure imposing an ad valorem tax to pay the interest and redemption charges on bonded indebtedness for these purposes that is submitted at the same election as this measure.<\/p>\n<p>(2)\u00a0The California Constitution conditions the imposition of a special tax by a local government upon the approval of\u00a0<sup>2<\/sup>\/<sub>3<\/sub>\u00a0of the voters of the local government voting on that tax, and prohibits these entities from imposing an ad valorem tax on real property or a transactions or sales tax on the sale of real property.<\/p>\n<p>This measure would authorize a local government to impose, extend, or increase a sales and use tax or transactions and use tax imposed in accordance with specified law or a parcel tax, as defined, for the purposes of funding the construction, rehabilitation, or replacement of public infrastructure,\u00a0affordable housing,\u00a0or permanent supportive housing\u00a0if the proposition proposing that tax is approved by 55% of its voters voting on the proposition and the proposition includes specified accountability requirements.
