Property taxes are a state thing. Republicans control all Texas branches of govt. So it is an Abbott thing. He has no answers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning that even if the housing market crashes--they could leave your home value where it is and your taxes could still go up 10% over the next couple of years also.
