Contact your House members – just a quick phone call, text, or email – and ask them to vote for HB 1670 a modest proposal to revise the arbitrary property tax cap.
Share with them how the 1% cap impacts your community and your ability to provide needed services. Talk with them about how your community might use this tool to fund critical services.
Time is short for the House to pass HB 1670, which changes the arbitrary 1% property tax cap to tie it to your city’s cost drivers – inflation and population up to 3% – before Wednesday’s floor cutoff. That means
House members need to hear strong support from local governments.
Remind them that local officials can be trusted to make good decisions to address the needs of the communities they are elected to represent.
