The property tax you are now paying is a county tax. This new state tax would come on top of that. Another back door attempt to increase our taxes....this time from the State of Texas...
This is a serious, new attempt by the State to begin to collect real estate property taxes. If passed, it will only grow worse over time.
Get out the vote and VOTE NO!
On November 3rd, there will be Propositions 1, 2, and 3 allowing the State of Texas to start taxing Residential Homeowners. So if you own a home, and these laws are passed, you will be taxed by the State.
PLEASE VOTE "NO" to Prop. 2 and 3 (HJR 36)
unless you want to pay taxes to the State also.
Proposition 2: The proposed amendment would appear on the ballot as follows: "The constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to provide for the ad valor em taxation of a residence homestead solely on the basis of the property's value as a residence homestead".
Proposition 3: The proposed amendment would appear on the ballot as follows: "The constitutional amendment providing the
uniform standards and procedures for the appraisal of
property for ad valor em tax purposes".
