This helps if you own a home, but many families at this income level rent instead of own. If you do own, your property taxes would stay more predictable over time.
$30,000-$60,000
This protects you from big property tax jumps when your neighborhood home values go up. Your taxes would only increase when you make actual improvements to your home.
$60,000-$100,000
You get protection from rising property taxes due to neighborhood changes. Your home taxes stay more stable, which helps with budgeting each year.
Over $100,000
You benefit the most since higher-income families often own more expensive homes in areas where values rise quickly. This caps your tax increases significantly.

A.J. LouderbackTexas State Representative, District 30
Texas is proposing a constitutional change about home taxes. When someone first gets a homestead exemption, their home's value for taxes would be based on what they paid for it or its current market value. After that, yearly tax increases would only count improvements made to the home. Voters will decide this on May 2, 2026.
