Please help seniors, at the very least, we have worked our entire lives paying property taxes and now in our 70’s find we don’t have enough income to pay for property taxes, rising drug costs, rising utility costs and inflationary prices in the retail sector without continuing to work. At some point we should be considered to have paid our fair share for education since we haven’t any children in the system.
Thank you Rep. Haggard for addressing this important issue. Eliminating property taxes for seniors is the right thing to do to ensure they can stay in their homes as their income decreases and health and other issues increase. And assessing everyone’s property taxes based on the price of their home when they bought it is also the right thing to do. That way if an area gentrifies, it will not force lower income people from their homes. This solves two important and longstanding issues with property taxes.
