🚨PROPERTY TAX HIKE ALERT!!! Your local governments are about to vote on whether or not to raise your property taxes!!
Property tax discussions are often made overly complicated by big government liberals who want to raise your taxes, but who don’t want you to know it!
Let me cut through the spin and be crystal clear: ANY LOCAL OFFICIAL WHO VOTES FOR A TAX RATE HIGHER THAN THE NO-NEW-REVENUE (NNR) RATE IS VOTING TO RAISE YOUR PROPERTY TAXES!!
Be warned, you’ll likely hear officials brag that they plan to “lower your tax RATE.” This is a gimmick... even if your tax RATE is lower than last year's tax RATE, due to rising property appraisals, your property tax BILL will still be higher than last year’s bill if the rate is set higher than the NNR rate.
You can think of the NO-NEW-REVENUE rate (NNR) as last year's “effective” rate adjusted for inflation of assessed values. And the “no new revenue” rate is a very misleading name because it actually brings in a ton of new revenue to local government, especially in growing areas.
Never forget: a lower property tax RATE is still a property TAX INCREASE… if the rate is set higher than NNR, even if the rate is lower than last year's.
Join me in demanding local governments CUT PROPERTY TAXES by setting rates that are BELOW the No-New-Revenue rate.
Tell them that you know that any vote for a rate higher than the NNR is a vote to raise property taxes!
Never ending property taxes are immoral, unethical, and I will keep fighting to abolish them! But, in the meantime, the least we can demand of local officials is that they NOT raise property taxes.
