Not as long as property tax revenue stays in the district where it's collected. If we want to pay lower taxes, we shouldn't expect other counties to subsidize our schools, etc. by paying higher property taxes.

The robin hood scheme is indeed a travesty. I agree. The scheme is not the fault of ranchers and farmers.

I also pay taxes on my main residence so don’t sarcastically laugh at me please. My wife and I are retired and yet we still have to pay our taxes. Our over 65 exemption is a mere pittance.

Your inability to understand tax fairness is causing you to point fingers in the wrong direction.

Instead you should be furious about the 50% of citizens who pay ZERO taxes but yet suck up vast amounts of state and federal funds. This 50% includes vast numbers of illegals. Ever hear of the tax credit? Look it up.

Spend as much energy raising cain with Congress and the White House as you do preaching to the choir here while degrading programs that keep food in grocery stores and we might get somewhere.

On my hunting property the taxes on the land which is ag exempt is $75.00 per year. I pay residential rate on my residence and .25 acres. The appraisal district was at my place in March doing their 3 year inspection and measuring. I pay my fair share given all the taxes I paid on the home, the septic, the well, and everything else I buy local. In order to maintain our ag exemption we lease the grazing rights to our neighbor who runs cows on our place. There is nothing unfair about ag and wildlife exemption.
