Despite years of promises, Texas politicians have failed to deliver lasting property tax relief. The proposed solution, compression, offers the only real path to long-term relief by reducing school property tax rates, not just offering temporary fixes. This whitepaper explains how compression works, why it’s the best form of tax relief, and how Texas can eliminate school property taxes within eight years. With proper reforms, including limiting state spending growth and freezing school M&O taxes, Texas can move closer to a future without skyrocketing property taxes.
