Close the Loophole Resolution Action Center
Join the fight to close the Corporate Tax Loophole. Send a message to Sacramento that it’s time for large commercial property owners to pay their fair share. Local elected bodies across the state are passing resolutions calling on the state legislature to close the commercial property loophole. This reform will generate billions in local revenue for cities and counties.

Closing the commercial property loopholes in Prop 13 can restore billions in funding for schools and public services. I support the regular reassessment of non-residential commercial properties at current market value if protections can be maintained for small businesses, homeowners and renters.
