REMINDER: We need all members to TAKE ACTION NOW and send an email to your State Senator and Representative. YOUR PARTICIPATION IS ESSENTIAL to preventing harmful housing laws.
Legislators are considering a bill that would further reduce housing inventory and raise housing costs in the state by taxing homeowners. Allowing these new taxes would set a dangerous precedent that would damage the housing market and our economy.
As the email to Legislators explains, communities seeking these taxes have blocked housing development and refused available affordable housing funding for decades. Instead of righting these wrongs through existing funding mechanisms and zoning reforms, they want new taxes that protect the status quo, drive down inventory and prevent housing diversity and inclusivity.
