Constitutional amendment to limit the annual growth in the amount of property taxes levied by political subdivisions
This constitutional amendment (LR 317CA) would limit annual property tax increases by Nebraska's local governments (cities, counties, etc.) starting in 2027. It allows each local government to raise taxes by no more than 2% plus the percentage increase in its total property values from the previous year (based on new construction, annexations, or other value changes). If voters approve it in 2026, local governments would be restricted from exceeding this "allowable growth" limit each year. The amendment requires voter approval and would take effect January 1, 2027.
