They made a revolution due to the high and unfair taxes that they felt they had to pay without representation. Today, one man, the Chief Appraiser, who is not elected by the voters has risen and continues to raise property taxes unfairly and unequally by raising the values of our homes and businesses enormously to the detriment of all. However, the Chief Appraiser is not without restraint. The restraint of the Appraisal District Directors, those elected officials amongst you who have the power by the Texas Property Tax Code to issue policy and control the Chief Appraiser. He closed by noted that high property taxes affect all families and the City of Laredo as a whole. He encouraged Council to cut their budget and search for ways to maintain or lower property taxes.
