🔎💰How much money is dedicated in the State of Texas Budget for Property Tax Relief, really?💰🔎 ✅That’s spelled out in the SB1 budget by Article III, TEA Rider 76 (pg. 281 of the document). Section (a) says we have provided $51 billion of new tax relief and to maintain tax relief since the 86th Regular Session and the passage of HB 3, which I was a co-sponsor of in 2019. ✅That means actually $51 billion is being used to cut your school property tax bills, just like Gov. @GregAbbott_TX said at this week’s bill signing ceremony for SB 4 & 23, and HB 9 by Chairman @MorganMeyerTX exemption increases! 📉🏡 💼 ✅ Section (b) says $3.5 billion is maintaining my SB 2 and HJR 2 from the 88th Second Session in 2023. But why? Originally, as I have repeatedly said this year, 2023’s SB 2 and HJR 2’s property tax relief was budgeted at $18 billion, but came in much higher at $22.7 billion—which was literally, 😂🌍 a world-record property tax cut! 📊 So, the #txlege leadership of both Lt. Gov. @DanPatrick and Speaker @Burrows4TX is really pouring on $10 billion more in property tax relief, and this $3.5 billion is to maintain what the voters approved in 2023 plus $6.5 billion more if the voters approve in November, the higher homestead and business BPP exemptions! 🏠🏢📈 💸 The result will be: • $484/yr ISD tax bill cut for all 5.7 million homesteads • $907/yr for 2.1 million seniors & disabled homeowners PLUS • $2,500 for businesses w/BPP as 🧾 All Texas property taxpayers can get up to 6 pennies off their ISD M&O property tax rate! 💪📉 🎉 Everyone’s in on this $10 billion, and we’ll see what the voters say in November!! 🗳️-PB @txtaxpayers @TPPF @TexasHDC @TexasSenateGOP @TXGOPCaucus
