How to Reduce Property Taxes. Texas Trilogy on Public Education and Taxes. Policy Brief No. 3
Lavine, Dick
Center for Public Policy Priorities
This is the third in a trilogy of policy briefs discussing education and taxation. The first brief explained Texas' need to increase its investment in public education. The second brief explained how a Texas-style personal income tax is the best way both to adequately support public education and to reduce reliance on the property tax. That brief outlined why a new business tax by itself won't raise enough money to significantly cut property taxes and why a higher sales tax would be a move in the wrong direction. This third brief explains alternative ways to cut property taxes, targeting reductions to those who need them the most.
