BRAZOSCOUNTY
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the 79d' Texas Legislature is seeking to address the method by which public education is
funded during a Special Session beginning April 17, 2006; and
WHEREAS, the State of Texas previously retreated from its historic level of funding for public education,
thereby requiring local school districts to increase property taxes to fund education; and
WHEREAS, 61 percent of the average taxpayer's property tax burden is due to school taxes while only 14
percent is due to county taxes; and
WHEREAS, Texas homeowners and businesses need meanin 1 property tax relief, and
WHEREAS, proposed bills to lower the existing appraisal cap from 10% to 3% or 5% are not true
solutions to the school property tax problem; and
WHEREAS, proposed bills to place harsh revenue caps on county and city governments also are not true
solutions to the school property tax problem; and
WHEREAS, county government is already struggling to meet the demands of under-funded and unfunded
state mandates such as indigent health care, indigent defense and federal mandates such as the Help
America Vote Act and the Clean Air Act; and
WHEREAS, noted Texas economist Dr. Ray Perryman and The Perryman Group completed a detailed
study of appraisal and revenue caps that concluded such caps would have a devastating effect on local
governments and the entire state's economy and job outlook; and
WHEREAS, the study shows that both types of caps restrict the flexibility of local governments to
respond to changing needs, emergency situations and state and federal mandates; and
WHEREAS, the study shows caps bear no relation to the legitimate demand for costs of public services
provided by local government, such as demographic shifts and industrial development; and
WHEREAS, the study shows that appraisal and revenue caps particularly constrain the capacity of high-
growth areas to meet service and infrastructure needs; and

Resolution 06-007
Page 2
WHEREAS, the study shows that such caps adversely affect bond rating, thus limiting local governments'
ability to meet infrastructure needs while raising the costs for such; and
WHEREAS, the study shows that 4ppraisal and revenue caps depress property values; and
WHEREAS, the study shows that appraisal caps discourage real estate activity, distort market outcomes,
penalize business start-ups, limit long-term economic growth, create systematic inequities among
taxpayers, arbitrarily redistribute the tax burden and tend to be regressive with persons in disadvantaged
neighborhoods subsidizing those who are more fortunate;
WHEREAS, the study shows revenue cans have resulted in substantial increases in state funding of local
services in other states that have passed them; and
WHEREAS, undermining a property tax system based upon fair market value is questionable public
policy and will result in a distorted, inequitable taxation scheme;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Brazos County does hereby express its opposition to
revenue caps and lowering the current appraisal cap and does-hereby urge the 79th Legislature to reduce
the school property tax burden by again assuming the state's historic share of support for public education.
