Are you hearing about proposals to eliminate property tax in your community?  While acknowledging every State, County, Municipality and Special District will have varying tax rules, structures, and local contexts, knowing the fundamentals and commonalities  is important.  It is critical to understand that our community's essential needs - our ability to flush our toilets, drink clean water, respond to fires, drive on safe roads.... are funded through property taxes across the United States to the tune of 70-80% and in some cases 95%.  

You can use the Tax Foundation's resource as a guide for your community conversations - "There's No Good Way to Pay for Property Tax Repeal." Click on this link:  Property Tax Repeal & Replacement: Tax Revenue Impacts
