Gov. <span class=\"xn-person\">Dan Patrick<\/span> encouraging Texans to vote for statewide Proposition 1 on <span class=\"xn-chron\">Nov. 3<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Lt. Gov. Patrick fielded live questions from callers regarding statewide Proposition 1, which is also known as the Homeowner Tax Relief Proposition. If passed, statewide Proposition 1 will amend the Texas Constitution to increase the homestead exemption by <span class=\"xn-money\">$10,000<\/span> (bringing the total exemption up to <span class=\"xn-money\">$25,000<\/span>), saving the average <span class=\"xn-location\">Texas<\/span> homeowner <span class=\"xn-money\">$130<\/span> per year. In addition, it will ban real estate transfer taxes permanently in <span class=\"xn-location\">Texas<\/span>, potentially saving consumers thousands of dollars on their next real estate purchase.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xn-person\">Scott Kesner<\/span>, chairman of the Texas Association of Realtors, commented, &#8220;We thank our statewide leaders, including Gov. <span class=\"xn-person\">Greg Abbott<\/span>, Lt. Gov. <span class=\"xn-person\">Dan Patrick<\/span> and Speaker <span class=\"xn-person\">Joe Straus<\/span>, for their support on statewide Proposition 1. We believe this is a first step toward meaningful, lasting property tax relief for Texans and look forward to continuing to work with them to make even more progress in the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>During the Tele Town Hall, callers responded to poll questions and an overwhelming majority of participants said they believe their property taxes are too high. Passing statewide Proposition 1 will alleviate that burden.
