Passing Propositions 13 and 11 this November will reduce taxes for millions of Texans.

Thanks in large part to advocacy efforts by Texas REALTORS® during the 89th Texas Legislature, voters have an opportunity to pass significant property tax relief for homeowners.

Proposition 13 would raise the homestead property tax exemption from $100,000 to $140,000, and Proposition 11 would increase the homestead exemption for elderly and disabled individuals from $10,000 to $60,000.

Texas REALTORS® endorses Seven other ballot propositions.

  • Proposition 1 establishes funds for the state technical college system to help meet the demand for skilled workers in key sectors. This means more Texans earning good-paying jobs—opening the door to mortgage qualification, homeownership, and stronger local housing markets.
  • Proposition 2 prohibits capital gains taxes on individuals, estates, and trusts, as well as the franchise tax on business trusts. This proposition would further signal the state’s commitment to a favorable tax environment.
  • Proposition 4 allocates $1 billion in sales tax revenue annually to the Texas Water Fund to help pay for water infrastructure projects. Securing this revenue stream now prepares Texas for future growth.
  • Proposition 8 prohibits estate taxes and new taxes on estate transfers, inheritances, and gifts. This means families can keep their homes, farms, and small businesses without having to sell to pay a government bill.
  • Proposition 9 increases the tax exemption—from a $2,500 to $125,000—on business personal property, such as furniture and computers. This could save your business hundreds of dollars annually and eliminate administrative burdens.
  • Proposition 10 allows a property tax exemption for property destroyed by fire, giving temporary relief so Texans can rebuild their lives.
  • Proposition 17 allows a property tax exemption for property owners who volunteer their land for border security projects.
