Of greatest interest to CCA members are the provisions of Proposition 19 which change how parent-child or grandparent-child property transfers operate. Intended to limit tax benefits for transferees who use inherited property as a vacation or rental home rather than as a primary residence\, Proposition 19 also impacts ranchers transferring the “family home” or “family farm” to their children or grandchildren. \nIn the months since Proposition 19’s passage\, CCA has received numerous questions from concerned members seeking to better understand Proposition 19. And there’s good reason for this confusion and concern\, as Proposition 19 is ambiguously written in many respects and has even resulted in contradictory interpretations from the California State Board of Equalization. To clear up some of this confusion\, CCA will be hosting a Proposition 19 discussion on Tuesday\, February 2 at 7:00pm (in advance of the transfer provisions’ effective date of February 16). \nDuring the discussion\, CCA staff will seek to clarify what tax provisions Proposition 19 does and does not alter\, resolve some of the rumors and confusion surrounding the Proposition and outline legislation and regulation needed to implement and clarify the Proposition (and how CCA is engaging in those efforts). \nThe discussion will be held over Zoom and is available only to current CCA members. To register for the meeting\, click here. \nAdditionally\, if you have specific questions about Proposition 19 you’d like addressed on the call\, please email them to CCA Vice President of Government Affairs Kirk Wilbur at kirk@calcattlemen.org. \nRegister\n  \nNew to Zoom?
