Dear concerned taxpayer:

Yesterday’s (Sunday) Express-News had a page 1 story about the upcoming bond vote “City’s great bond debate”. On the last page of the story was a little noticed table showing San Antonio property valuations will increase a staggering 13.9% this year.

This means the average San Antonio homeowner will likely face the largest property tax increase ever. Northside and Northeast School District taxpayers can expect an even greater increase in valuations and taxes.

Now you know how city bond proponents are able to claim that no tax rate increase is necessary to pay for the largest bond issue in San Antonio history. Annual reappraisals!

Bob Martin
