Maximum increase in tax assessment is 2% compounded annually.
You can appeal to market. And assessor can reassess to market or maximum assessment. In reality it’s not always that automatic.
For example, in years 3, 4, and 9, you need to appeal to get a reduction in taxes.
It’s always better to start with the lowest tax basis because that affects your maximum tax assessment.
Edit: It didn’t come out right. The 3rd column is the maximum Prop 13 max.
