Summary
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has issued over one hundred thirty violation notices to cities, including Horizon City and San Elizario, for exceeding the no-new-revenue property tax rate. This action is due to Senate Bill eighteen fifty-one, which prohibits cities from raising taxes without meeting financial audits and transparency rules. Paxtons team discovered cities bypassing these requirements, leading to higher taxes for residents. The Attorney Generals office has warned these cities of penalties and vowed to continue enforcing the law to protect taxpayers wallets.
