How divorcing the appraisal
system from the property tax
system will work For proper-
ty now on the tax rolls, the
amount (the "amount" is the
value on on the tax rolls) of the
property would determine the
taxes paid, not the value of the
property as determined by
appraisal For new homes and
businesses, the amount of the
cost of the new construction
would be the base amount for
taxation
just because the appraised
value has been used forever
does not mean that taxation
cannot be accomplished with-
out appraisals Divorce is the
only solution to our spiraling
property taxes the taxing
authorities will fight any
attempt to cap appraisals or
roll back tax rates More next
