Nichols files bills to limit property tax increases, restrict eminent domain and reform welfare
“Senator Robert Nichols (R-Jacksonville), filed legislation today to limit the growth of property taxes, prohibit the use of eminent domain for recreational purposes and to significantly reform the state’s welfare system.
“These bills represent some of the priorities brought to me by the citizens of Senate District 3,” said Nichols. Appraisal Caps The first bill Nichols filed is to slow rapidly rising taxable values on Texas homes.
“Escalating tax appraisals make homeownership less and less affordable,” Nichols said. “We need to keep citizens from being taxed out of their homes and significantly limit increasing tax appraisals, which result in larger tax bills.”
