AB 698: Local taxation: real property transfers.

California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified December 13, 2025

What AB 698 does, verified December 13, 2025

The bill requires a city's legislative body to analyze the impact of a proposed transfer tax on the production of affordable housing before adopting the tax. The analysis must be posted on the city's internet website and examine the effect of the tax on affordable housing, including housing produced by market-rate projects. The bill also states that changes made by the bill address a statewide concern and therefore apply to all cities, including charter cities.
