Concur completely.
Since Governor Abbott took office in 2015, Texas property tax levies have increased substantially, despite repeated legislative efforts to deliver relief to homeowners through expanded exemptions and rate compression. Between 2014 and 2024, overall Texas property tax levies grew by approximately 364%, far outpacing both population growth and inflation, which increased by about 149% over the same period.
MYTH: Texas passed the “biggest property tax cut ever.”
FACT: Property taxes have never been higher… and most property tax bills are going UP after this session.
