Truth in Property Taxation
Support HB28
Tax policies should be transparent and easy to understand. Taxpayers should clearly understand what they owe and how their tax dollars are being used. This is why we must support HB28, which will eliminate the authority of political subdivisions to levy replacement property tax levies. It allows property tax levy renewals, as well as renewals with increases. Eliminating replacement levies as an option for political subdivisions simplifies property taxes by reducing confusion at the ballot box. What we vote for should be what we pay. Clearly showing the math to homeowners when they cast their vote at the ballot box grows trust between community members and their local governments.
