Help Cut Property Tax Rates by Supporting the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s Plan.

Your community’s property tax rate should be frozen. And if it does increase, it should never go up by more than 4 percent. Never again should you dread to open your property tax bill. Never again should it contain a “shock increase.”

Texas Public Policy Foundation is a non-profit organization (501(c)3), and your contribution is fully tax deductible.
