Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins Wants to Lower Your Property Tax Rate

Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins

Dallas County’s top elected official has heard your sobs as you opened your recent property tax appraisal notices and he wants to do something about the real financial pinch felt by many of the 525,000 county property owners who saw shocking increases this year.

“What I’m proposing is that we capture the money that was budgeted for, but not this windfall,” Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins, a Democrat, told WFAA.

If you agree with him, he’s started an online petition for you to sign so he can show his fellow county officials just how much Dallas County residents support this idea. I’m pretty sure just about all daltxrealestate.com readers are going to put their John Hancock down, if the response we’ve received to stories about appraisals is any indication.

Basically, Jenkins wants to meet the demands of the current Dallas County budget by lowering the rates at which the county’s taxing jurisdictions collect on property appraisals. This might be tough for some taxing jurisdictions, such as Dallas Independent School District, but as Jenkins notes, anything worth doing is going to be hard.

So what do you think of Jenkins’ plan?
