Senator Brandon Creighton Statement on Historic Property Tax Reform
“No longer will Texas homeowners have their rising appraisals be used as a weapon against them” —Senator Brandon Creighton
Austin, Texas—Today, the Texas Senate passed sweeping legislation to reform the state’s property tax system—the most significant updates in over 50 years. This legislation, Senate Bill 2, provides meaningful appraisal transparency, true reform for Texas homeowners, and prevents local governments from collecting taxes over the rate of inflation. I was honored to serve as a chief negotiator on this landmark legislation and will stay engaged to ensure that Senate District 4 taxpayers are finally provided property tax relief.
