Property Taxes
 Updated on Friday, Jul 21, 2023

Regarding the Property Tax Relief Supposedly Passed in Austin this summer during special session:

Wise County Republican Leader, Andy Hopper comments: 

Very soon, you will surely be receiving news from your legislators about an epic “breakthrough” in property tax relief, brought to you by your Texas Legislature. You will hear that $18 BILLION dollars will be returned to taxpayers in the form of property tax relief, and some unscrupulous legislators will even brag that this is the largest tax relief in Texas History.

 Unfortunately, the “breakthrough” only represents approximately $13B in new property tax relief. $5.3B (or 30% of the advertised figure) was actually put into place in 2019, and your legislators are hoping you don’t realize that 30% of the “breakthrough” represents old property tax cuts you’ve already gotten.

 The largest tax relief in recent history represented a little over $20B, adjusted for inflation. Do you remember the deep savings brought by the 2008 tax cut?

 Neither do I. 

 Our Texas Legislature started session with a $33 BILLION surplus: the biggest surplus in the history of our state. Instead of giving ALL of that back in the form of tax relief, they decided to enact the biggest spending increase in Texas HISTORY—a 42% increase in spending since the last biennium.

 Your Texas Legislature decided to increase spending by $69B, which is more than twice what Canada spends every year to fund its entire defense budget. It is approximately the same as what Russia spends on its military.

 But your legislature has graciously bestowed $13B back to you in tax relief. Even worse, only $7B will be spent on new “compression,” meaning that as your appraisals continue to rise over coming years you will see less and less lasting savings from this tax relief.
