Frisco City Council voted Tuesday to approve a resolution against property tax revenue caps as proposed by two bills in the Texas Legislature.

According to the resolution, revenue caps would cause cities, such as Frisco, to eliminate fire and police department positions and cease the use of economic incentives that help attract companies and create jobs.

Senate Bill 2 proposes that an election would automatically be called if a city's property tax revenue exceeds 5 percent year over year. The bill has passed the State Senate and will now be considered by the Texas House of Representatives.

"This bill would hamstring your city from being able to provide the services that you’re requesting from us: public service, public safety, roads and infrastructure," Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Tim Nelson said.

House Bill 15 also proposes an automatic election if property tax revenue exceeds 4 percent year over year. The bill was filed in the House in early March.

Council member Shona Huffman said both bills would not provide significant tax relief to residents. For example, SB 2 would save the average Frisco household about $5.20 per month, she said.

"What’s being proposed is soundbites and political jargon. It is not meaningful tax reform," Huffman said. "… What we believe is real tax reform needs to be attacked and pursued, and real policy needs to be made."
