Property taxes are skyrocketing across the state this year.

On average, home values went up 20.74% in 2021, which means your county appraisal district followed suit. There's an opportunity right now to lower your appraised value for tax assessment!

As a homeowner, you have a VERY IMPORTANT vote coming up on May 7th! [Early voting ends today.]

There is a Texas Constitutional Amendment up for vote right now! I pulled this from a Texas Tribune Article:


Quote:

What is Proposition 2?

The ballot language: "The constitutional amendment increasing the amount of the residence homestead exemption from ad valorem taxation for public school purposes from $25,000 to $40,000."

What it means: Currently, homeowners can subtract $25,000 from their home's value before school tax rates are levied. Proposition 2 would increase that deduction to $40,000 in value. The measure could save the average homeowner about $175 on their annual property tax bill, Bettencourt said, and would go into effect this year.


We need to do everything we can, including vote, to help our property tax situation in Texas. Something tells me it's only going to go up.
