| Property Tax Cap: Does Your State Have One? |
| 2023-09-20 |
| [Kiplinger] A property tax cap could help keep your property tax bill from increasing too much. That’s because these caps limit how much property taxes can increase from one period to the next. However, not all states have a property tax cap, and not all cap types are created equal. There is more than one type of property tax limit, and other factors play a role in tax bill amounts. Here’s what you need to know. [Median property tax bills, home values, and effective tax rates are based on data provided by the US Census Bureau and presented by PropertyShark. The types of property tax limitations each state imposes are based on information from the Tax Foundation.] |

| #5 How Do Homestead Property Tax Exemptions Work in Texas? "Surviving spouses of military members killed in the line of duty are allowed a 100 percent property tax exemption on their primary residence, assuming they've not remarried. In the event of a disabled veteran's death, any existing exemptions pass on to the surviving spouse if they've not remarried." |

| #4 None of us actually own these homes, we simply lease them from the gov't. If we stop paying the property tax lease, someone else will be moving in who will. |

| #3 Not only is there no cap in MN but I just received a postcard from the local assessor saying one of his minions would be by with a camera to take pictures and they'd need to see the inside of the house. If you don't sign up for this home invasion, "assumptions... will be necessary." Sounds a lot like "nice little place you got here, be a shame if anything were to happen to it." |

| #2 If the state is going to tell you what your property is worth, they should have to back it up with a section on the tax form where you check the box marked "At that price, I'll sell it to you" with a place to provide where to send the check. |
