You are being played about property taxes.
Millions of dollars are made every year
filing your property tax protests.
Do you believe they will give up those millions?
They spread money around Austin to 
keep property taxes high 
to protect their revenue stream.

  
     
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

As a Texas State Senator Paul can write property
tax legislation that can benefit his company.

Is that a conflict of interest?
Dan was elected a Texas State Senator in 2006
using high property taxes.
Paul was elected a Texas State Senator in 2014
using high property taxes.
It has been 18 years are property taxes more affordable?
Paul being a Texas State Senator, he owns
a business that files thousands of
property tax protests every year. 
Did he know of this loophole
and inform the public of it?



  
 
 
 
     
 
 
 
This is not about the people who live in apartments,
they are hard working individuals who deserve a safe 
clean place to live and raise their children.

It is about the fact that apartment units
pay pennies and sometimes nothing to
support the local services they require.

Those local services are education, law enforcement,
Emergency Medical Services, and the local hospitals.

Look at the number of public housing apartments
in just Houston, 4,000 units plus 1,600 tax-credit units.

Public Housing units pay no property taxes.
The neighboring private property owner
pays the taxes for every apartment unit.

We must pay to support the local services.

Public housing does not pay school taxes,
the private property owners pay for the schools.
We we need lower property taxes combined with 
a consumption tax where everyone in that community
pays to support the local public services in the community.

It would be very cheap to collect at the cash register,
it does not require Government employees to collect. 


  
     
 
     
 
My fellow Texas Republicans:
Keep screwing around and
you will lose control
of Texas.

You only have the rural areas of the state.
Republicans in those rural areas are
experiencing higher property values 
and rising property taxes.
They are not receiving more in services
and they are getting angry by the game.

Stop Playing the Property Tax Game
Think of the increase in business for the 
tax protest companies driven by
the huge increase in property taxes
in Travis County...it is a big cash flow.

If elected politicians write legislation
that increases revenue for their company
is that a conflict of interest?
Last year at an event in Austin talking with
a member of the SREC, he mentioned an elected
individual who plays the property tax game.
I asked him how can Republicans support the hypocrisy?
The SREC member smiled and said
" He is a good fundraiser "  

Always about the money and
money buys votes in Austin.



  
     
 
 
     
 
read the image below and then click onto it.
The article on KXAN is a perfect example of how 
you are being played to protest your property taxes.

They make certain to raise your property taxes
which results in a large increase in business
for the property tax protest companies.

Are you tired of being played?
  

  
 
 
 

Assessment reductions went from $55.9 billion in 2012
to $243.6 billion in 2022, a 335.7% increase in 10 years.
Is a 335.7% increase indicate there is something wrong? 
There was 495,130 property tax protests filed
just in Harris County for the year 2021.

In 2021 the volume of tax protests was:
495,130 in Harris County
197,120 in Tarrant County
 159,490 in Dallas

851,740 total protests in just three areas of Texas.
Millions of dollars in revenue for the tax protesting companies,
hundreds of employees at the appraisal districts and
at the property tax protest companies
who need high property taxes to keep their jobs.

Do you seriously believe they will give up that revenue?

.
The annual value of property tax protests
in just those three areas:

851,740 x $329 = $280,222,460

Do you believe they will reduce property taxes
which will decrease their volume of business
possibly bankrupting some companies?
Would you risk bankrupting your company?

Or will tax protesting companies spend the money 
to elect Legislators who will protect their cash flow?

June 2023 Dan says ending property taxes is fantasy
April 2024 Dan wants to look into ending property taxes

Are you tired of being played??
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
     
 

The politicians in New Jersey squeezed residents so hard
using property taxes that finally residents gave up,
in 1976 voters did what they swore they would never do,
 approve a New Jersey state income tax.

They closed the schools using the children
as leverage to get the vote to approve it.
