FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT CALCULATION
Article XIII B of the California Constitution requires adoption of an annual appropriation limit. The original base
year limit was adopted in FY 1978-79 and has been adjusted annually for increase by a factor comprised of the
percentage change in population combined with either the percentage change in California per capita personal
income or the percentage change in local assessment roll due to the addition of local nonresidential new
construction. The changes in the local assessment roll due to additional local nonresidential new construction for
current and prior periods have not been available from the County Assessor's office.
On November 1988, voters approved Proposition R which increased the limit to $25,000,000. It expired in
November 1992. The FY 1993-94 limit was calculated with prior years re-calculated to reflect the expiration of the
$25,000,000 limit.
