Increases in the value of real | | property are limited to the just value of any improvements or | | degradations to the property and the lower of the rate of | | inflation and the actual increase in value of the real property, | | unless there is a change of ownership. If there is a change of | | ownership, the value of the property may be changed to the higher | | of the actual purchase price and the just value of the property | | on the April 1st preceding the change in ownership. |
