Texans will never have the peace of mind of owning their home until property taxes have been eliminated. Until then, Texans are renting from the government, always living with the fear that exorbitant taxes could take their home away. The Foundation has developed a balanced solution to give Texans the relief they demand while also funding the needs for critical services like public safety and education. Our Lower Taxes, Better Texas plan will eliminate a significant portion of Texans’ property taxes by 2033 and make structural reforms that limit local government over-spending to prevent annual spikes in tax bills.
