November Elections VOTE YES on Prop 2, 3, 5 & 11

There are four very important propositions on the November ballot that affect all Texas homeowners and property owners. VOTE YES for the following propositions:

(1) Proposition 2: Ensures that residential property is appraised as residential property, not a hypothetical value based on “highest and best use”
(2) Proposition 3: Allows the state to have oversight of central appraisal districts and enforce uniform appraisals standards across the state.
(3) Proposition 5: Allows two or more adjoining appraisal districts to have combined appraisal review board to ensure qualified and knowledgeable board members.
(4) Proposition 11: Provides private property owner protections by placing in the Texas Constitution clear restrictions on the use of eminent domain; Close a loophole that allows governmental entities to take well-maintain land on the grounds of “blight”; Prohibit the government from acquiring property through eminent domain with no clear plans to put the property to public use; And require a super majority vote of the legislature to grant new eminent domain authority to a new governmental entity.

Early Voting begins October 19 - 30. Regular voting November 3
