Will Your Business Survive the End of Prop 13?
|
|
By: Lou Caron, PIASC President/CEO
Although over a year away, the 2020 election features not only a contested Presidential race but also a number of ballot initiatives that will dramatically affect your business. One such initiative, The California Schools and Local Community Funding Act of 2018, better known as the “split roll” property tax initiative, would repeal many of the protections of Proposition 13 as they apply to business property.
You remember Prop 13, don’t you? Back in the 1970s, property values in the state were increasing. Seeing the increased value of a property, tax assessors increased property assessments thereby increasing the amount of property taxes owed. Every year, as the values went up so would property taxes. This made it difficult for homeowners and businesses to plan for the future.
While property values were increasing, homeowner’s paychecks and profits earned by businesses did not keep pace. Older individuals on fixed incomes found it especially challenging to handle the ever-increasing tax burden. This led tax revolt leaders Howard Jarvis and Paul Gann to draft Proposition 13.
Prop 13, officially called the People’s Initiative to Limit Property Taxation, was an amendment to the Constitution of California. Its goal was to keep property taxes manageable and predictable. The way it works is simple.

Also Assuring Good Paying Customers Stay that Way
DATE: September 10, 2019
TIME: 11:00 am - 12:00 pm PDT

When you extend credit, one of the costs of doing business is the fact that some percentage of your receivables (2% to 5% in most industries) will become delinquent (one or more days past due) at some point during the year. The question is, what type of processes and tools can be put in place to increase the probability that your customers will pay you on time, almost all of the time.
Join us for this informational one-hour webinar with our preferred partner AG Adjustments where credit & collection industry veteran will talk about the various components necessary to manage customer credit risk and increase the likelihood of getting paid on time.
In this presentation they will review:
- Software – Why you need advanced tools and software to help you do your job and manage your customers
- Onboarding of your customer – the power of making good decisions
- Internal Collection Process – why you need a defined and documented process
- 3rd Party Placement Strategy – when a customer does become a payment problem, what do you do?
