Local Decision-Making and Property Taxes

The County Judges and Commissioners Association of Texas, Conference of Urban Counties, Texas Association of Counties, Texas Association of School Boards, and Texas Municipal League have developed an educational presentation to explain how county government is funded; how public schools are funded and the resulting impact on the property tax rate; the prevalence of unfunded mandates; and how local decision-making is the best way to address the myriad of challenges in Texas, where one size does not fit all. You are welcome to repost the PowerPoint on your county website and use the presentation to help educate your constituency.
