HB 109 Texas House · 89th Legislature, 2nd Called Session (2025)

Relating to the text of ballot propositions that increase taxes.

HB 109 requires that any ballot proposition in Texas proposing a property tax increase must include the statement "THIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE" in bold, size 42 font. This rule applies only to elections held on or after the bill's effective date, which takes effect immediately if passed by a two-thirds vote or 91 days after the legislative session. The bill does not change how tax increases are proposed but mandates clearer, more prominent language for voters. It directly affects local governments and school districts that place property tax increase measures on ballots.
