I like the idea of capping tax assessments. I am in central Texas and about 7 years ago the county dropped rates. Then the assessment went up and now I am paying something like 600% more (my bill). I am grateful, in some respects, that the property is worth more but I an not really in a position to gain financially from the price increase.

Adding: I would also like to see more of a tax for subdividing land. The way the taxes are structured, I feel like it is set up for those already living here are paying for the development and then paying the bills for road maintenance, police and fire, schools, etc. Empty land does not need these services.
