Reminder: Votes of elected officials raise property taxes, not appraisals | Texas economic news – Pratt on Texas 3/28/2022

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: It is property tax appraisal notice season and the same old tricks will be used to make you think your taxes went up just because property values increased – it’s not true.

Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.

Wildfires rage across Texas and the next day or so will likely bring worsening conditions.
