Gann Limit

FY 2025-26
Gann
Appropriation
Limit
June 17, 2025
Sharif Etman, Interim Director of Finance
2 What is a Gann Appropriations Limit?
• State Proposition 4, commonly known as the Gann Initiative, was approved by California voters in November 1979.
• Proposition 4 created Article XIIIB of the State Constitution, which placed limits on the amount of revenue that can be spent by government agencies. • Proposition 111, was approved by the voters in June 1990 and provided new adjustment formulas to the Gann Limit and requires local governments to adopt Gann Appropriations Limits each fiscal year.
• The appropriations limitation imposed by Propositions 4 and 111 creates a restriction on the amount of revenue that can be appropriated in any fiscal year. The limit is based on actual appropriations during the 1978-79 fiscal year and is increased each year using population and inflation growth factors.
• Only revenues that are classified as "proceeds of taxes" are subject to the limit. 3 Gann Appropriations Limits
