Proposition 17 – Property tax breaks for border security projects
Proposition 17 introduces tax breaks for landowners in counties that border Mexico.
Per KUT News:
This amendment would allow the state Legislature to create a property tax exemption for landowners in counties that border Mexico.
The exemption would apply only to increases in a property’s value that come from installing or building border security infrastructure, like fencing or surveillance systems.
If approved, lawmakers could pass laws giving property owners in those border counties the option to claim this exemption on their tax bills.
Recommendation: No
