What it means for your household Under $30,000
This change won't affect your household unless you own farmland, which is uncommon at this income level.
$30,000-$60,000
Most families at this level don't own farmland, so this tax change won't impact your property taxes.
$60,000-$100,000
If you own farmland or rural property, removing these tax breaks could mean higher property taxes on that land.
Over $100,000
Households most likely to own farmland or investment agricultural property would lose valuable tax breaks, leading to higher property taxes.

How this connects
Texans will vote on a constitutional amendment that would change farmland tax rules. Currently, landowners who use property for farming get lower tax rates. This proposal would remove that requirement and change what happens when farmland is sold or converted to other uses. The election happens May 2, 2026. When we show up together, our community becomes more connected, more resilient, and more powerful.
