The Landlord Lens

Property taxes could go to ZERO in 2026 but can states actually pull it off?

Several states are proposing major property tax reforms, including plans to eliminate or drastically reduce property taxes for homeowners. In this episode, we break down which states are pushing for it, how they plan to replace the lost revenue, and what it could mean for landlords, investors, and homeowners.

We cover:
• Which states are proposing property tax elimination
• Whether these bills have actually passed
• How schools and local services would be funded
• The impact on home prices and rental markets
• What landlords should be thinking about now

If property taxes disappeared tomorrow, would housing become more affordable  or would costs just shift somewhere else?

Let us know in the comments: Should property taxes be eliminated on primary residences?
