Prop 13 Arizona did not make the November 8, 2016 ballot in Arizona as an initiated constitutional amendment.
The measure would have limited property taxes by capping the total tax rate and restrict property tax bill increases to no more than 2 percent each year. It would have also phased out the personal property tax in the next three years and ended the K-12 funding formula by removing primary and secondary property tax designations.[1]

Path to the ballot
Initiative proponents needed to collect 225,963 signatures by July 7, 2016, to land the measure on the ballot. Supporters did not, however, submit signatures by the deadline.[2]
