Join NAIOP SFBA in taking action and oppose Prop I, the proposed increase to the San Francisco City real estate transfer tax on the November 2020 ballot.

• Increases transfer tax from 2.75% to 5.5% on property valued at $10 - $25M
• Increases tax rate from 3% to 6% on property valued at >$25M
• Directs tax revenue toward a general fund held by the City

Example of potential impact on San Francisco office building valued > $25M:

• Average office building price per square foot is approx. $800-$1,000/SF
• New additional transfer tax levy would be approx. $24-$30/SF
