SJR 81 - Tax relief for small businesses

SB 81 gives the Texas Legislature the power to exempt the first $25,000 of value in business-related personal property from property taxes. This would ease the tax burden on small businesses, especially those that use tools, equipment, or vehicles to earn income. By removing the old, vague language that tied tax breaks to administrative costs, this amendment sets a clear, consistent threshold. Supporters of limited government and lower taxes should back this measure because it reduces unnecessary taxation on income-generating property and helps small businesses grow without red tape.
