The Frozen Texas Budget Path to Eliminating Property Taxes

2/13/2023

 
Picture
​Overview
  • Texans face an affordability crisis from not only bad policies out of D.C. but also excessive government spending at the state and local levels, resulting in higher taxes than otherwise.
  • While state and local governments cannot change President Biden’s costly regulations, Congress’ excessive deficit-spending, or the Federal Reserve’s over-printing of money, they can spend and tax less in Texas.
  • To overcome these economic headwinds, state and local governments should pass frozen (no-growth) budgets, impose the no-new-revenue rollback rate on property taxes, return at least 90% of excess tax collections stolen from taxpayers to compress property tax rates until they are zero.
  • Achieving this will help Texans with the affordability crisis and make Texas an economic juggernaut so that more people can prosper.


Texans for Fiscal Responsibility’s 3-Step Plan to Eliminate All Property Taxes
  • Frozen State Budget of holding spending growth to zero so there is less intrusion of government in the private sector resulting in a maximum surplus available to provide property tax relief.
  • Eliminate School District M&O Property Taxes with 90% of state surplus funds each biennium until nearly half of the total property tax burden is zero in just four years.
  • Eliminate Other Property Taxes by passing a local spending limit, imposing the no-new-revenue rollback 

This paper was initially published by Texans for Fiscal Responsibility.
