The Confusion Over Prop 13 on Your Ballot** Don't let the name fool you, this ballot initiative is NOT the Prop 13 measure that voters overwhelmingly approved in 1978 to lock in our low property tax rates and protect seniors. Instead, this measure would authorize a $15 billion school construction bond to be paid by taxpayers. What's worse, the exorbitant fees will disproportionately fall on homeowners in the form of increased property taxes!  Learn more about Prop 13 from Jon Coupal, President of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayer Association, [Click Here](https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/opinion/story/2020-02-10/no-on-prop-13-school-bond-measure-means-higher-property-taxes-for-homeowners-op-ed). ![Ryan Maxson, Vice President of Government and Public Affairs](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/a1da92eb37580de86008314bb0a494c4) [Ryan Maxson, Vice President of Government and Public Affairs](https://go.sdar.com/government/author/ryan-maxson-vice-president-of-government-and-public-affairs) [   ![](https://go.sdar.com/hubfs/AB%201482%20Event.jpg)](https://go.sdar.com/government/register-today-ab-1482-update-with-a-legal-expert) [Previous](https://go.sdar.com/government/register-today-ab-1482-update-with-a-legal-expert) ## [Register Today - AB 1482 Update with a Legal Expert](https://go.sdar.com/government/february-update-new-laws-primary-elections-and-more) [Next](https://go.sdar.com/government/roc-action-alert-county-vmt-proposal) ## [ROC Action Alert: County VMT Proposal](https://go.sdar.com/government/february-update-new-laws-primary-elections-and-more) [![](https://go.sdar.com/hubfs/red_alert_sd.png) ](https://go.sdar.com/government/roc-action-alert-county-vmt-proposal) ### Related Posts: [Red Alert!
