In the interest of accuracy, Prop 13 doesn't have fixed property taxes. It has (relevant to property taxes):
1. a low cap on property taxes (1% of tax basis value annually)
2. a limit on tax basis value increases outside of sales and other qualifying events (annual increase capped at 2% or the rate of inflation, whichever is less).
