but voter approved bonds and school levies would remain.

That’s what most of my property tax is. Screw this idea.

Exactly. Just an excuse to raise taxes.

Inflation is raising the cost of everything, so increasing the sales tax will put the double-whammy on people living paycheck to paycheck, while filling the state’s coffers.

“That’s what most of my property tax is.”

By what percentage?

For reference, In CA I’m paying 1.24% of my assessed value; the 0.24% are the bonds, etc.

What’s that look like on your bill?

For all that we’ve got no annual reassessment, I actually think getting rid of Property Tax altogether is a righteous thing to do; while it elevates daily costs, it only does so by a percentage of spending. Getting rid of 1.5% of hundreds vs adding 7.85% of annual consumption means grandma and grandpa won’t get run outta their house for a delinquent Property Tax bill. Ever.

That’s a righteous victory, if you ask me.
