REDUCE PROPERTY TAXES FOR SENIORS

I am a 78 senior citizen married to a deceased Army veteran. At what age do the taxing bodies freeze the value of my home for tax purposes. I agree that we seniors should be exempt from paying school taxes because our children are grown adults now, we paid when they were in school to support the school system which all citizens that have children should. Here in the Rio Grande Valley, people from across the border that have friends or relatives here, borrow their address and bring their children and enroll them in our schools, but they don't pay anything because they don't own property. THAT IS NOT FAIR. I think everybody should pay, but they get away with it because there is nobody to check on them or investigate this situation.

I want to do this in Wash. state and need help getting started can you help

stop seniors from losing their homes. Those over 65 deserve to have a reduction in property taxes!

Seniors should not have to pay school tax when they don't have kids in school. Why don't we close public schools and just have private schools for people that have kids, let them pay for education.

Seniors live off a fixed income and medical expenses take up 3/4 of that income.

senior need reduced taxes, seniors have added financial burden prescriptions,doctors, hospitalization, seniors need reduced taxes and seniors have paid their share in educating there children already

Right on. I agree with the problem of seniors having to pay school taxes.

My children are over "40". Time for them to pay their share and take my place.

School taxes are more than 35% of my property tax. This is almost 1 months SS check. Can't stand it.

taxs hurting how i live and keeping my home and family with means of living a comforable life!!!!

Since retirement, our income has been greatly reduced. We can't keep up since our property rates have been raised so very much in the last ten or fifteen years. We have always paid taxes, but we have not had children in school for 45 years. This is just not right. Please help us who have paid taxes for years and years and are now retired.

I have never had kids in the district where I live but I still have to pay property taxes that go up every year. I don't mind contributing but lets make it fair!

I though taxes weren't to go up after 65 on county or city tax but mind has gone up every yr and i am 78 now

Have paid taxes all my life and it is not fair that I do and others don't. We are in danger of losing all we've worked for all our lives just because we fund those that never have paid taxes. I've been fed up with it for years! Let's stop this!!

In College Station the property and school taxes are out of control. They taxes increases force seniors and widows out of the homes they worked all their life to own. It is like extortion.

Our Property taxes have risen 49.8% Since 2012. When does it ever stop. School taxes are important but we don't even have children in our district going to school yet we are taxed as if we did. We should get some kind of break.

We seniors need this tax relief

Nueces,Harris county get *80 % reduction here in Jim Wells County only 10% reduction its not fair

STOP Property Tax Increases

I agree it the same thing we are seeing with illegals get free health care and education on our money
