CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATORS TODAY!

 

SJR 1, which contains the language to amend the Indiana Constitution to impose permanent caps on property taxes, will be back before the 2009 Indiana General Assembly for a final vote before it appears on the ballot for all Hoosier to vote on in 2010. The Hoosier Property Tax Reform Alliance urges everyone who wants to lower and limit their property tax bills to contact their legislators to vote "yes" on SJR 1.

Contact your state representative today!

 

Call your State Representative at 1-800-382-9842      

Call your State Senator at 1-800-382-9467

 

When you call your State Senator and Representative ask for your legislator or his/her assistant. Please leave a message in your own words but be sure to include the following items as part of your message: 

1. Permanent and predictable property tax reform. Which can only be accomplished through a constitutional amendment to cap property taxes at 1% of a home's true value. 

2. Property tax reform must include a fair and modernized assessment system. We must have county-level assessments by trained, highly qualified property assessors consistent with the proposals put forth by the Kernan-Shephard bi-partisan commission.

3. Accountable government spending. I support local control boards and public referendums to give me and my neighbors a direct voice in how high my tax bill will be. 

4. Do not fall short of the finish line of what Hoosiers deserve. We deserve a long term solution to our property tax mess.
