64. The reason the car tax in Cali is so high is because Cali
passed Prop. 13 that limited property tax increases. One pays higher car taxes that would have been reflected in your property tax had they been allowed to rise as they had before. That's an $800 property tax over the last 25 years (Prop 13 was enacted in 1978). Not an unheard of increase over that period of time. Especially considering Real Estate prices in Cali. Nutshell: the money has to come from somewhere.
Blame Howard Jarvis (the author of Proposition 13).
