California's top state income tax rate is 13.3% — the highest in the country — and it applies to capital gains too. Tennessee has zero state income tax and no state capital gains tax. For clients selling a business, stock, or investment property, that difference alone can be worth tens of thousands of dollars in a single transaction. Property taxes are lower too. California's statewide effective rate runs close to 1%, often higher once local bonds are added. In Williamson

Williamson County (Brentwood, Franklin, Fairview) cuts that rate to roughly $1.73 per $100 —

Why California Wealth Is Moving to Williamson County, TN
California's gas tax just hit 63.4 cents per gallon — the result of a 2017 law that automatically raises the rate every year, permanently, with no cap.
