flag Several U.S. states are pushing to cut or eliminate homeowner property taxes in 2026, citing rising costs and anti-tax sentiment.

flag In early 2026, several U.S. states including Georgia, Florida, Texas, and North Dakota are advancing proposals to eliminate or significantly reduce homeowner property taxes, driven by rising home values and anti-tax sentiment. flag North Dakota is using oil revenue to phase out taxes for tens of thousands of households, while Georgia aims to fully eliminate them by 2032 through a constitutional amendment. flag Florida and Texas leaders support phasing out nonschool and school-related property taxes, respectively. flag These efforts, often backed by Republicans, target relief for retirees and fixed-income homeowners facing steep bill increases. flag Critics warn that removing such a major revenue source could harm schools and local services, with no clear consensus on how to replace lost funding. flag Ballot initiatives in Oklahoma, Ohio, and Michigan are also being considered, though past attempts have failed.
