AB 1745 Could Reshape California Gas Station Values

California AB 1745 could impact gas station values across the state — and the May 29 deadline is now just 10 days away.

AB 1745 proposes suspending California’s 61-cent-per-gallon gas tax for one year.

According to Oron Maher, Broker-Director at Maher Commercial Realty, the market does not wait for the vote.

If AB 1745 survives May 29, pump volume assumptions could shift across California gas stations. If it fails, current tax structures remain in place and existing underwriting assumptions likely hold. Either way, lenders and investors are already pricing the probability now — not after the floor vote.

That perspective comes from Maher Commercial Realty, a Beverly Hills-based brokerage specializing in gas stations and car washes throughout Greater Los Angeles.
