The proponent has not complied with Elec. Code, § 9001(b)(1):
(1) An original signed certification stating that “I, (insert name), declare under penalty of perjury that I am a citizen of the United States, 18 years of age or older, and a resident of (insert county), California.”
The proponent has not included his county of residence.

This is quite possibly the greatest step forward for aging Californians in the history of the Great State of California, a property tax exemption that protects the primary residence of aging residents or couples.
No longer will Seniors be taxed out of their homes and into the streets.
No longer will a surviving disabled child be forced into crowded and scare government disability housing they can't afford by property tax valuations that soar 2, 3, or even ten fold.
The fastest growing group of evictees in California will now be protected.
California seniors and disabled who can no longer hold onto their homes due to rampant inflation, stagnant inflation, and PGE price gouging, now have hope for a new financial dawn.

This initiative is a BAD BAD BAD idea for seniors as well as for the entire state.
Seniors already pay low property taxes due to Prop 13.
Seniors (and others) facing financial hardship can defer their property taxes using the State Controller's Property Tax Postponement (PTP) Program.
Many seniors are wealthy. We don't need to give the wealthy a break and force working families to carry more of the burden.
This would blow a $2B hole in the county's (already strapped) $7B budget. There will be layoffs in healthcare, fire and sheriff's departments.

As it current stands, California homeowners are under-taxed creating an undue burden on renters and young people. Outright eliminating property taxes for a large portion of the population means that the burden will need to shift either to younger homeowners or, worse-yet, onto productive economic activity through sales and personal income taxes. California's affordability crisis can only be made worse my shifting our economy further in support of maintaining passive investments. For lower-income elderly on fixed incomes especially, the ensuing inflation and constriction of the service economy would only exacerbate cost-of-living issues.

I support this initiative. Seniors are the fastest growing homeless population. Many seniors are on fixed incomes and cannot afford expensive property taxes. Property taxes lead to homelessness. People should be able to own their homes and not have to keep paying the government to stay in the home that they paid for!!

This is a great move for seniors in California. I doubt the county and state governments would allow it because they just want to collect more money from California residents for all the additional expenditures that do not help us and help us with affordability. But I am going to vote for this proposition and hope it passes. It is incredibly hard for seniors to afford to live in the Silicon Valley area, especially those who were here before the tech boom. Good luck, I hope this makes it on the ballot and I can vote for it.

This is a politically motivated initiative put forth solely to boost the candidacy of its author, Rishi Kumar, for Santa Clara County Assessor. The assessor's office has nothing to do with property tax exemptions, yet Mr. Kumar seems to be implying that it does, hence his submission of this initiative. The implications of exempting seniors from property taxes are enormous, and not well thought out, especially since California is facing a budget shortfall.

As a fixed income senior in California, I SUPPORT Initiative No. 25-0035, the 60+ Property Tax Exemption Act of 2026. Seniors are suffering terribly in California, trying to keep a roof over their heads. They have worked most of their lives paying increasing fees and taxes, and their homes are their only security. hen seniors on fixed income who are driven out of their homes because the cost of living in California is so high. they find they cannot afford to live anywhere else in the State. Eliminating the ad valorem part of their property tax would truly help seniors survive and keep supporting the State of California.

I am in support of the referenced ballot initiative.

I qualify. I have lived in my home since 1991. Living on a fixed income, Social Security, is very hard to make ends meet. This would be so very helpful. I hope it passes!

I am for (yes vote) on Initiative No. 25-0035 to make exempt those over 60 from paying property taxes.

Taxation is theft. Especially property tax. Ending property tax starting with senior citizens is a step in the right direction.

Retirees in California and on fixed income have a very tough time making ends meet. Especially with the cost of living and inflation we are seeing. I support this measure for those who are retired and are over the age of 65.

Seniors are often wealthy. What if the house is worth $50 million. Such a wealthy person does not deserve a tax subsidy. Seniors generally already have a large discount due to Prop 13. Seniors often bought their home back when prices were more reasonable and no longer have high housing costs. Seniors over 55 can already transfer their Prop 13 discount on taxes. Why are seniors more special than struggling younger workers?

I am 65 years old and in favor of seniors not paying property taxes.
