Los Angeles adjusts Measure ULA high-value transfer-tax thresholds
Los Angeles' Measure ULA high-value transfer-tax thresholds are adjusted after June 30, 2026, while the 4% and 5.5% surcharge rates remain in place.
What changed
Luxury sellers and buyers near the threshold should price the deed date, because a small threshold adjustment can determine whether the ULA surcharge applies.
Before
For the prior adjustment cycle, Measure ULA applied at 4% to transfers above $5.3 million and 5.5% above $10.6 million.
After
For transfers after June 30, 2026, the published Measure ULA FAQ lists thresholds of $5.4 million and $10.9 million, with the 4% and 5.5% rates retained.
