“According to city-data.com, mean price of a detached home in Healdsburg is $640,012. This would be yearly tax of $6,400 on top of property taxes the owner is already paying.”
Under Proposition 13, property taxes are set at 1% of purchase price, and they can be raised a maximum of 2% of that value per year, plus the debt service on any voter-approved bonds. That’s it. The idea that Healdsburg can unilaterally double the base property tax from 1 to 2% isn’t going to happen. And the last time I looked, it was perfectly legal to own real property and not live in it all the time, or any time at all.
