Tax Break for Corporation Shifts Burden to Homeowners
The board will vote on amending a special tax deal for Enterprise Products Operating LLC. These ‘value limitation’ agreements give large corporations a massive discount on their property taxes, forcing homeowners and small businesses to make up the difference in school funding.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Barbers Hill ISD board before the meeting. ‘Regarding Item 7.E, I oppose amending the special tax deal for Enterprise Products. These corporate welfare agreements shift the tax burden onto residents. Please vote NO.’
💰 Impact: Higher Property Taxes
