This sounds very promising. My wife and I do appreciate folks thinking about those of us who are on fixed incomes. God Bless each of you!!!

The board actions need an independent review and adjustment. Also I do not think Realtors should serve on the board as they benefit directly from the increase in property value.

I request an immediate election to change taxation in Hays County to purchase price with no added assessments unless new buildings are added.

We’ve lived in our house over 32 years, both retired. Our taxes are working their way towards $1,000 a month!!!!

Please stop this madness! Our property appraisal jumped from $364k to $959k in one year! We paid $320k two years ago.

Appraisals/Property taxes are outrageous. Even with homestead exeption with 10% yearly increase I wouldn't be able to afford my house in a couple of years.

We have said this all along. We should be taxed based on what we originally paid for the home, not what someone is willing to pay.

Well written. Residents will not be able to afford to stay in their homes because of the crazy tax increases.

I strongly support the move to base land taxes on purchased price in place of valuation. I believe this move is necessary so that long-term residents are not priced out of our neighborhood.

Regardless of this petition outcome, the cap for annual tax increases need to be reduced from 10% to no more than the consumer price index. Seniors on fixed incomes rarely get more than a 3% cost of living increase, so it doesn’t take long to find oneself in a deep hole.
