Vote to Lower Property Taxes—And a Lot More

October 04, 2023 | Texas REALTORS® Staff
flags outside Texas Capitol

Texas REALTORS® is supporting five of the 14 proposed constitutional amendments on the Nov 7 statewide ballot. (Early voting starts Oct 23  and runs through Nov 3.). Texas REALTORS® encourages you to vote for: 

  • Proposition 1 – Protect the Right to Farm
  • Proposition 4 – Provide Property Tax Relief
  • Proposition 6 – Establish the Texas Water Fund
  • Proposition 7 – Establish the Texas Energy Fund
  • Proposition 8 – Establish the Broadband Infrastructure Fund

Proposition 4 would deliver the biggest property tax relief package in Texas history by raising the homestead tax exemption to $100,000 (up from $40,000) and authorizing the state to send more money to local school districts (also referred to as “compression”). These changes will help reduce property taxes for both homeowners and non-homestead properties. Proposition 1 would enshrine in the Texas Constitution certain rights related to agricultural activities on private property. Propositions 6, 7, and 8 establish funds to make investments in the state’s water, electricity, and broadband infrastructure.

Per TheATX1 (@The ATX) on Twitter: Here are the Future Development Plans for West 6th and Lamar in Old West Austin, near Downtown, ATX.

 This is a massing of the 6th & Lamar (Waterloo Records site) residential project based on the Planning Commission approved zoning. The original plans before a compromise was reached with the local neighborhood association called for a building 31' and two or three floors taller.

Should you BUY a FLIPPED House? ATX Broker Associate GVM Tips, Insights.

 SHOULD YOU BUY a "FLIPPED" HOUSE?  Have you personally ever considered and wondered if you, yourself should BUY  a "flipped house." In my 15+ years of predominantly residential Central Austin brokerage practice and experience, here are my insights, opinions, suggestions and things to be cognizant of.  #1. Absolutely, for sure get a LICENSED INSPECTION on the flipped house! Not all flippers are the same. Just like in life there is a wide spectrum in regards to quality. Some flippers are flat out awful. They make very lipstick-like improvements, skip the expensive items such as the foundation, and plumbing and try to trick the consumer into paying more for a home, when the consumer shouldn't.  On the Flip Side (this joke was just too obvious) There are also excellent high-quality flippers whom selectively choose which homes they flip, and then they invest carefully and beautifully while genuinely  improving a home! Some of these hi-quality upper tier flippe...

Austin, Texas has a DOG PROBLEM.....

  Austin, Texas has a DOG problem (Letter I wrote and sent) Dear Austin City Council Members, Hello and well regards, Yesterday afternoon during a simple bicycle pedal exercise ride, I was physically chased by an unleashed Pitbull dog in ZILKER PARK. Then directly after recovering from almost being mauled by an unleashed pit-bull in Zilker Park, I attempted to buy a Gatorade at a nearby Barton Springs Road Market, but that didn't go well either, as an interior Market commercial customer had a massive mixed breed dog trolling through the diminutive shopping isles. Then this morning, at a Coffee shop on SoCo, there was only 1 entry way in and out, and there was another large, although more docile mixed breed dog. All of this has occurred in less than 24 hours. What's the point? The City of Austin's dog friendliness and citizen enabling of irresponsible dog owners has gotten out of control. Newsflash! Not everybody like dogs, being everywhere all the time. especially within ...
