Summary
Texas counties are reeling from a surge in property tax exemptions, with Bexar County alone seeing 50,000 new exemptions—threatening an $145 million deficit by 2029. Voters expanded breaks for businesses and disabled veterans, but the state’s pushback is squeezing local budgets, forcing tough choices like cutting park hours or pool access. Officials vow essential services like roads and flood control are safe, but the real impact won’t be clear until July 25th when tax protest data rolls in.
