The Texas Senate made significant progress on Tuesday by advancing a new bill aimed at reducing property taxes for all land-owning Texans.
, though Patrick said Tuesday the Senate proposal includes "the best of what there was quite a bit of agreement on" between House and Senate negotiators who met over the weekend.
"The Governor has also been clear that the only way a property tax bill gets to his desk is for the Texas House and Texas Senate to agree to a bill and get it to the Governor's desk, and he encourages the two chambers to work towards a solution," Eze said. "The burden of rising property taxes weighs heavily on our state’s property owners, and it is imperative that we look beyond the current special session to identify long-term, sustainable solutions to this evergreen problem," Phelan said in a statement.Texas has some of the highest property taxes in the nation, and the state’s top Republicans have been at odds for months over how to cut them — a standoff that intensified in late May as Abbott entered the fray.
Patrick and Senate tax-cut proponents balked at the all-compression proposal and argued that any tax-cut package must include special relief for homeowners via a boost in the state’s homestead exemption on school district taxes, or the slice of a home’s value that can’t be taxed to pay for public schools.
