Proposition No. 5
Heritage Alliance Recommendation: FOR
How the proposition will appear on the ballot:
The constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to authorize a single board of equalization for two or more adjoining appraisal entities that elect to provide for consolidated equalizations.
Summary:
Authorizes the legislature, by general law, to authorize a single board of equalization for two or more adjoining appraisal entities that elect to provide for consolidated equalizations.
Heritage Alliance Recommendation:
FOR
Conservative Principles which are the basis for this recommendation:
This proposition would be useful to rural counties with small population. A vote for this proposition will make government more efficient by allowing smaller counties to pool their resources to accomplish the task of property tax appraisal for those counties who agree to have a single board of equalization. If the amendment passes, a vote of the people in the affected counties would be required before the single board of equalization could be created.
