NebraskaProposed amendment would limit yearly property-tax growth
Nebraska voters were to decide in November 2026 whether to limit local subdivisions’ yearly property-tax growth, but the measure was indefinitely postponed.
What it does
If voters approve the amendment, each political subdivision’s yearly property-tax total could rise by no more than 2% plus a percentage based on growth in its property value.
Argument forThe limit could help property owners by tying yearly tax growth to a 2% increase plus growth in the subdivision’s property value.
Argument againstThe limit could leave local subdivisions with less room to fund services when costs rise faster than the allowed property-tax growth.
More detail
The proposed amendment would cap the total property taxes each political subdivision may levy in a year. The cap would apply to the total property taxes levied by each political subdivision. The amendment would take effect only if voters approve it. The limit would begin January 1, 2027.
