Dade Phelan, speaker of the Texas House, argues that the best way to stop property tax bills from soaring is to limit appraisals's rise, not cut the tax rate.
for the 2022 election cycle, property tax relief came up in almost every conversation as fellow Texans voiced their concern related to a sudden increase in their property taxes, frustration over the appraisal system and worry about whether they could continue to afford their tax bills in perpetuity., and with it, our businesses, our schools and our housing. But that demand has contributed to too many Texans experiencing property taxes that are either burdensome or outright unaffordable.

The Property Tax Relief Act would also significantly reduce the amount of local property tax dollars that are sent back to the state for redistribution to other school districts in Texas by some $4.5 billion for the next two years, ensuring that those funds stay in their respective communities. Republicans, Democrats and everyone in between can agree that shrinking the size of our state’s controversial “Robin Hood” program is a good thing, a step in the right direction.
