Most homeowners and businessowners will see an inflated property tax bill! (Rent increases for renters.)
Haven’t seen your property tax bill yet? It’s on the way! Once you see it…
Are you confused by the Grand Canyon distance between the tax-cutting promises made and the reality of what you now owe?
Are you frustrated because no matter how many times politicians tell you they’re reducing your property taxes, your bill keeps climbing?
Are you puzzled because your local elected officials have bragged about holding the tax rate steady for the past bajillion years, but your property tax bill still increases – every single year?
Are you suspicious when folks pushing local bond elections for courthouses, convention centers, schools, and parks say, “People over the age of 65 won’t pay more”?
You should be suspicious! Every time a bond election passes for a “noble” cause, the property tax debt burden for ALL taxpayers goes up. The result? The taxes of folks over the age of 65 will NEVER go down because this long-term debt will not be paid off in your lifetime! Weren’t you promised your taxes would go down someday? We think people asking you to pay more should at least tell you the truth – the whole truth!
We call all of this The Long Con. The deceivers count on the average citizen not understanding simple concepts these politicians twist and distort to their re-election advantage. Then, queue the clapping seals trained to treat these deceivers like royalty every time they walk into a room. This is how the long con of the “How Can We Fool Them Today?” strategy works.
What can you do? Learn how to spot the long con and reject it!
Watch the short 25-minute video below produced by Republican State Senators Bob Hall and Paul Bettencourt. It is instructive and eye-opening.
Hall and Bettencourt discuss bonds, appraisals, the property tax burden in Texas and how some local taxing entities are maneuvering around property tax reforms AND defiantly issuing debt for bond projects the voters rejected at the ballot box.
Watch and learn. Prepare to push back on the long con in your community!
