HJR 38: Proposing a constitutional amendment to authorize the legislature to provide for an exemption from ad valorem taxation of the amount of the market value of residential real property that arises from the installation in the property of certain energy efficiency-related improvements.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to allow Texas lawmakers to create a property tax exemption for the increased value of residential homes resulting from energy efficiency upgrades, such as solar panels or improved insulation. It would authorize the legislature to define eligible improvements and set requirements for the exemption. The amendment requires voter approval in the May 2026 election. If passed, it would enable local governments to reduce property tax assessments for homeowners who install qualifying energy-saving features.
