>>Under the school finance plan, property taxes on the average-priced Texas home would drop by nearly $2,000 over the next three years. <<

Does anyone know if this will affect (lower) property taxes on Texas commercial rental property?

I believe so. Texas is a nondisclosure state which makes commercial property hard to appraise. Generally speaking commercial is 50-70% of true value. While, on the other hand homeowners are taxed nearer to 95% of value. Most homes are comparable in a neighborhood and they have access to MLS. This tax law is a boom to investors of apartment and office buildings since most ownership is held in general partnerships, thus tax exempt.
