Greg Abbott's 5 Proposals to Slash Texas Property Taxes

Controlling Local Government Spending

• 🛑 Stop out-of-control spending by local governments, which is a primary driver of higher property taxes.
• 💰 Local governments must be required to live within their means, similar to how individuals and families manage their budgets.

Voter Approval for Tax Increases

• 🗳️ All property tax increases should require a vote and approval from two-thirds of the voters.
• ⚖️ This measure aims to give Texans more direct control over tax hikes they may not even be aware of.

Property Tax Relief Measures

• 📉 Texans should have the ability to vote to roll back their property tax rates.
• 🏠 Property appraisals should occur only once every 5 years, down from the current frequency.
• 📊 The annual appraisal cap should be reduced from 10% to just 3%.

Abolishing School District Property Tax

• 🏫 A constitutional amendment should be proposed to allow voters to abolish the school district property tax in Texas.
• 🎯 The ultimate goal is to turn the tables on local taxing authorities and empower the people to control property taxes.
