No. Big businesses that build their corporate HQ get to negotiate with the county for property tax rates. Small business that buy small buildings don't.

You have every right to want to see small businesses replaced by corporate megaliths, but don't pretend you're doing that out of "fairness." That's evil.




Don’t big businesses try to do this everywhere in the US? What does that have to do with prop 13?


That’s why “Prop 15” which would have overturned prop 13 protection for business but not homeowners was so obscene: it would only adversely affect small Mom & Pop businesses. Big mega corporations could negotiate.


Big corporations already negotiate subsidies, even with Prop 13. This just makes one less thing that they pay less on by default. You were hoodwinked.
