Legislator Proposes Freeze On Home Repos For Delinquent Property Taxes

[#TexasPolitics365]


State Rep. Terry Wilson (R - Marble Falls) is proposing a bill this legislative session to freeze seizures of a person's primary home for delinquent property taxes.

The bill, House Joint Resolution 43, proposes a constitutional amendment providing that, "a residence homestead is not subject to seizure or sale for delinquent ad valorem taxes."

If passed, it would add language to Texas law that states that, "A residence homestead is not subject to seizure or sale for the payment of delinquent taxes or penalties. The Legislature by general law may define residence homestead for purposes of this subsection."
