An in-depth look at Proposition HH

What you need to know about Proposition HH.

IT’S A HUGE TAX INCREASE THAT ENDS TAYPAYER REFUNDS

Within a few years, taxpayers will no longer get checks like the $750 checks they got last year. The state will simply keep the money, effectively increasing state taxes by up to $12.5 billion over the first decade..

IT ALLOWS THE STATE TO CONTINUE KEEPING REFUNDS FOREVER WITHOUT ADDITIONAL VOTER APPROVAL

The measure initially lasts 10 years, but the state can extend that indefinitely without asking voters. Over 30 years, state taxes will increase by up to $200 billion.

IT WOULD RESULT IN THE LARGEST PROPERTY TAX INCREASE IN STATE HISTORY THIS YEAR

Proposition HH would lock in the impending property tax increases forever, allowing property taxes to climb in future years just as quickly as they would without the measure.
