Senator Paul Bettencourt (R-Houston) announced his intention to file legislation in the upcoming 86th Legislative Session to ensure that all property tax rate increase elections will be held on a uniform election date in November. In his press release, Bettencourt said he will be filing Senate Bill 2 to mandate property tax rollback elections be held on the November uniform election date. He would also include other legislation for bond issues, TREs, and any issue that raises property tax rates on taxpayers to be held during that uniform election date as well.
