So Dan got everything he wanted and the house got a pilot program on a appraisal cap of 20% over 3 years.

looks like my boss got most of the details of the scoop on Friday. she mentioned some sort of credit system that owners have to pass on savings to renters but that seems unenforceable?

Can't believe they don't want to enforce money trickling down. Don't worry the free market will sort it out and some landlords will reduce prices to get a competitive edge on and force the rest of the market to move with them. *Rents rise 100% within 5 years as all landlords move in lockstep*

Oh no I just can't get enough of the genius commentary on these boards as people read A People's History for the first time. It's like when you fix your grandma's computer and she only knows one thing about computers and thinks that's the problem every time 'Is it the modem." No grandma it has nothing to do with the modem. "Are you sure, check the modem". Money for goods and services? That's late stage capitalism of which the alpha and omega of my understanding is "line go up". zoux fucked around with this message at 17:14 on Jul 10, 2023 |

I have never in my life seen prices for anything go down ever for any reason (excluding gas prices but that’s just fluctuations and not real price reductions).

The price of something staying the same is actually the price going down. When you get more for the same amount of money it is the price going down.

It's just an appraisal growth cap calculated over 3 years rather than one. Effectively it's a 6.67% per year appraisal cap. https://twitter.com/RBR_Daily/status/1678384885008945153 gah!

No actually the opposite, it's expanding appraisal caps to all real property (under $5m) whereas before it was limited to homesteads.

Manager Hoyden posted:But only for the elderly and are troops of course, anyone else can eat a fat 20% every single year You and Zoux are saying markedly different things. Currently, the cap on the increase of taxable assessed value for a homestead is capped at 10% year over year. Zoux is saying that now it's a rolling three year 20% increase. You are saying it's a 20% year over year increase unless you're a veteran or senior citizen - which probably wouldn't go over well for those politicians if they're raising the year over year cap on like 90% of homeowners.

There's a current cap of 10% YoY for all homesteads regardless of troop levels or age, as well. 65+ get their property taxes frozen under current law, and some war widows and other people like that also get the freeze.

I know - he phrased it as if the cap would now only apply to vets + elderly. It looks like it applies to all property - commercial, residential, rental whatever.

Jesus I need to sue my appraisal district then. I guess I had the wrong impression on the circuit breaker issue from the wording in the Tribune article and looking up how circuit breaker policies work in other states. Just so I'm clear, this one only applies to non-homesteaded properties? Like rental property relief for landlords?

Ok - reading it again - I think the homestead cap stayed the same at 10% year over year and non-homestead properties got the "circuit breaker" at 20%. I'll look through it in detail - but I dont think the homestead portion of 23.23 was modified they just added 23.231 for non-homestead properties Sab0921 fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Jul 10, 2023 |

This is the only thing I can find about "20 percent" And nothing about rebates, so I'm not sure Every Texas (formerly the center for public policy priorities) and the lege are using the same definition of circuit breaker. Trib: quote:While some circuit-breaker programs are targeted to renters or other specific groups of taxpayers, it was unclear Monday morning how exactly the Texas plan would work or who it would benefit most. So we're going to have to wait until it gets explained in committee or on the floor. Manager Hoyden posted:Jesus I need to sue my appraisal district then. Think so, but also like commercial property
