Attorney General Todd Rokita of Indiana wants state lawmakers to work with his office to write practical and legally sound laws that will lower property taxes and make life easier for residents who are struggling with money.
Indiana AG Urges Lawmakers to Address Growing Property Tax Concerns
Fox 59 reports that Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita wants state lawmakers to work with his office to solve property tax problems during the next congressional session.
On Monday, Rokita talked about how more and more Hoosiers are looking for ways to lower their high property taxes and how politicians should listen to them. His office is ready to help write new laws that will lower property taxes and make life easier for people who live there.
Rokita’s call for change comes at the same time that the race for governor is getting more competitive, with candidates offering a range of property tax relief plans. Mike Braun, a Republican, wants to limit property tax bills for seniors, people with low incomes, and families with kids under 18 to 2%.
Jennifer McCormick, a Democrat running for office, wants to limit property tax increases to 10% and give seniors and disabled soldiers more tax breaks. Don Rainwater, the Libertarian candidate, wants to either cap property taxes at 7% or 1% for up to seven years.
Property Tax Relief on the Horizon: Indiana Lawmaker’s Push for Practical Solutions
Rokita stresses how important it is to get real property tax relief as November Organization Day and the January legislative session get closer.
If there is any new law, his office is ready to make sure it is both useful and legal. Rokita’s focus on property tax reform is likely to be a big issue in the November race, when he runs against Destiny Wells, a Democrat.
The last day to register to vote in Indiana is October 7. Rokita’s push for property tax reform makes the legislative plan more important. Voters are getting more worried about how to make taxes more affordable, which is making the fight over how to lower taxes even stronger.
As the election and legislative session get closer, Rokita’s call for lawmakers to work together shows how important it is to find legal answers to Indiana’s property tax problems.
