No New Revenue

Dear members of the Dallas City Council, :

Dallas taxpayers have experienced a staggering 56% increase in city taxes since 2016, and staff recommends raising our taxes again! This is not the path to a healthy city that creates opportunity for all of Dallas.

I urge you to vote for the PASSAGE of the No New Revenue Tax Rate. This is the rate that will NOT increase our taxes but still fund critical priorities. The No New Revenue rate would ensure that the growth of government would keep pace with the taxpayer’s ability to afford it. The rate would result in zero cuts to city services because of the City's economic growth. In this economic climate of rising costs, and rampant inflation the last thing citizens need is a hike in their taxes. Please stand with the people in your district and vote for a fiscally responsible budget.

We deserve and can have a city government that respects the taxpayers and delivers essential city services more efficiently and cost-effectively. The time to change course for the City of Dallas is NOW. Please vote on September 20^th for the passage of the No New Revenue Tax rate to ensure that the future of our beloved City is bright and prosperous for everyone.
Dallas taxpayers have experienced a staggering 56% increase in city taxes since 2016, and staff recommends raising our taxes again! This is not the path to a healthy city that creates opportunity for all of Dallas.

Tell Dallas City Hall: Deliver Real Property Tax Relief

Sign The Letter

For several decades, the City of Dallas has continuously raised taxes and expanded department budgets without significant oversight.

In some years, the City cut the property tax rate, but between rising valuations and sky rocketing appraisals citizens' taxes increased continuously.

This August, Councilmember Cara Mendelsohn called out this irresponsible trend, noting a memo sent to Mayor Eric Johnson and subsequently released publicly that continuing down this path would completely exhaust the General Fund by 2027. Mendelsohn advocated for: Establishing a No New Revenue Tax Rate—cutting the property tax rate enough to ensure that city taxes do not go up, even after increased valuations.
