Confused by Texas property tax jargon? Let’s simplify it. When you log into your local Truth-in-Taxation website this August, you’re going to see two critical terms required by Texas law: the No-New-Revenue Rate and the Voter-Approval Rate. Understanding the difference between these two numbers is the key to knowing whether your local government is actually holding the line on spending or proposing a tax hike. Public hearings start next month. Are you ready? texas.gov/living-in-texas/pr… #TaxTerms #TexasRealEstate #GovTransparency #PolicyMatters #TruthInTaxation #YourTaxesYourVoice #TxLege

This is the time of year when local governments draft budgets and consider tax rates for the upcoming year. These local rates will determine how much Texas businesses and homeowners pay in property taxes. Now's the time to pay close attention to your local governments (school board, city, county and others) and voice your opinion on their proposed budget and tax rates. You can find your local Truth in Taxation website and gather more information here: lnkd.in/gxQCzHv8 These are your taxes. Be sure to use your voice. #txlege #txbiz #YourTaxesYourVoice

TTARA President Jennifer Rabb shared her insights and expertise during a panel at the Texas Chamber of Commerce Executives' Annual Conference in Abilene. The panel was titled, "Under the Dome: What's Ahead for the 90th Texas Legislature — and Why It Matters for Local Chambers." Thank you to TCCE for the invitation! #txlege #txbiz

A strong business climate results in good jobs for Texans and more funding for public safety, education, infrastructure and other priorities that Texans value. #txlege #txbiz

Nearly 16 million Texans are in the workforce. Behind those jobs are businesses making decisions to take risks, invest, and innovate. #txlege

Texas leads in job creation because employers know they can invest and succeed here. Policies that support investment create opportunities for millions of Texans throughout the state. #txlege

A robust private sector creates more opportunity and stronger communities. It allows Texans to pursue their dreams. That’s why Texans, and Texas leaders, have worked so hard to build the best state economy in the country. #txlege #MoreThanAMiracle

Thank you, @DonHuffines , for taking time to visit with TTARA members and share your perspective on the role of the Comptroller. We appreciate the opportunity to hear from candidates as part of our ongoing educational efforts for members.
I had a great time yesterday speaking with @txtaxpayers and their members. We talked about the strength of the Texas economy and how, when we cut taxes, create predictability, and stand firm on our values, Texas grows and wins. Texas means business, and I’ll keep it that way.
