Bettencourt Talks Property Tax Changes Planned for 2015

KTRK talked to Senator-elect Bettencourt about property taxes. His changes to the property tax system: 

  • ” We need to force tax rates to come down (as values increase) and it’s easy to do it’s called a rollback tax rate limit,” 
  • Cut a couple of hundred dollars off the next tax bill.
  • Potentially use the state’s rainy day fund to further lessen the tax burden on homeowners and businesses. [ABC 13 KTRK Houston]
