Tax limitation initiatives are efforts to limit or reduce state or local taxation through direct democracy.

The first widely-known and successful effort to limit tax levels through the use of ballot initiatives was in California in 1978, when Howard Jarvis led the California Proposition 13 (1978) campaign to place a lid on property taxes in that state.

Other tax limitation activists and groups, especially Bill Sizemore in Oregon, Tim Eyman in Washington and Howard Rich of Americans for Limited Government have tried other initiatives, such as the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR).
