Citizen-led initiatives are difficult; unfortunately we must follow the rules of engagement defined by the Secretary of State.
Please understand that the petition format is not something we created arbitrarily. The multi-page format is required so that the Secretary of State can legally validate the signatures. A single signature page would be rejected - you have to print and mail the first 4 pages.
Of course, we would love to do an online change.org campaign for this - but this is not what the Secretary of State mandates. We would never ask supporters to do something incorrectly or submit paperwork that would not be accepted. The petition form has been constructed to ensure we follow all the rules. Our goal is simply to ensure that every signature collected counts. So please follow the instructions on our website. And read the FAQ on our website if you have questions.

SUBJECT: A major property tax exemption initiative is coming to the November 2026 ballot
Hi neighbors,
I wanted to share something important happening right now in California that affects many of us. A new ballot initiative is working toward the November 2026 election that would exempt homeowners age 60 and older from paying property taxes on their primary residence. The goal is simple: help seniors stay in the homes and communities they helped build. Watch this video summary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nX3cVamoTcI
You may now be wondering whether this would reduce funding for schools or local services. The initiative is designed to maintain full funding for schools and essential services, without raising taxes on anyone else.
I invite you to visit exemptpropertytax.com, learn more and if you like it, download the petition today.
Every signature helps keep our neighbors in their homes and our community strong.
