From Texas Association of Counties 08/01/2018: Elected Officials are asked to share this Website with Constituents:
www.ProtectPropertyTaxPayers.org
We all know that unfunded mandates add billions of dollars to the bottom line on property tax bills, but most tax payers aren't aware of how the practice affects them. You can help educate your constituents by sharing www.ProtectPropertyTaxPayers.org, with your colleagues at the courthouse, and in regular conversations with your residents. More than just a website, ProtectPropertyTaxPayers.org can help connect concerned citizens with their legislators.
This brand new site takes readers through a quick overview of what an unfunded mandate is and how it affects property taxes. The site then provides visitors the opportunity to contact their legislators in just a few clicks.
Suggested email text helps set a respectful tone for users as they begin to prepare their personalized remarks to their representatives. It also includes some talking points to help them be direct in making their point.
