Bill Summary
SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION proposing a constitutional amendment to authorize the commissioners court of a county to exempt from ad valorem taxation by each political subdivision that taxes the property the portion of the assessed value of a person's property that is attributable to the installation in or on the property of a rainwater harvesting or graywater system.
AI Summary
This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would allow county commissioners courts to provide property tax exemptions for rainwater harvesting and graywater systems. Specifically, the amendment would authorize counties to exempt from ad valorem taxation (property taxes) the portion of a property's assessed value that is directly related to the installation of rainwater harvesting or graywater systems. Ad valorem taxation is a tax based on the assessed value of a property. The proposed amendment would also allow the legislature to establish additional eligibility requirements for such exemptions. The proposed constitutional amendment is set to be submitted to Texas voters at an election on November 4, 2025, with a ballot proposition that clearly describes the potential tax exemption for water conservation systems. This amendment aims to encourage property owners to install water-efficient systems by providing a financial incentive through property tax relief.
