Passing Meaningful Property Tax Reform
|
Indiana has some of the country's lowest property taxes for
homeowners, including ranking No. 5 in the nation for best property tax climate according to the Tax Foundation. However, many Hoosiers have been understandably frustrated by the considerable year-over-year increases in their bills, which have largely been caused by inflation.
That's why the Senate Republican caucus has put property tax reform at the top of our 2025 Senate Republican legislative agenda.
Property taxes, which are set and used solely by local governments – not the state government – fund local services like schools, police and fire departments. That's why it's so important to balance lowering taxes on Hoosier homeowners, farmers and businesses with funding the needs of schools and local governments.
In its current form, Senate Bill 1 – our caucus's top priority bill – reflects Gov. Braun's plan to cut property taxes. The bill is likely going to change throughout the legislative process as the Senate, House of Representatives and the governor work together to find a plan that will work best for
property owners and local governments beginning in 2026.
This work builds on our previous efforts to cut property taxes for homeowners and is sure to be one of the most discussed issues this session.
If you have thoughts on these or other issues, I encourage you to take my 2025 constituent survey and provide your feedback in the comment section. |
