The trouble is that anyone who has moved has lost the Save Our Homes cap anyway. My parents lived in the same house for 37 years - then they moved last year. Now their taxes have more than tripled because they are subject to taxation at the full value of the new house. Plus, because they still have the old house, the taxes on that will bump up to the current assessed value as well.

Without portability, Save Our Homes isn’t all it’s cracked up to be unless you plan on staying in the same home forever.

your right but that cap is a nice security blanket against the tax and spend officials
