CALLS to ACTION
Tennessee REALTORS-March 2025
- SJR1/HJR2: Proposes adding language to Article II, Section 28, to prohibit the General Assembly from enacting a state property tax passed the Senate floor receiving the necessary 2/3 approval with a vote of 26-5-1. HJR2 will be considered in the House Finance Subcommittee this coming week. Tennessee REALTORS® supports this legislation and is part of the coalition working to pass it.
Tennessee REALTORS® supports this constitutional amendment to prohibit the General Assembly from levying, authorizing, or otherwise permitting a state tax on property. Without a state property tax, property owners don’t have to pay an additional tax based on the value of their property. This lowers their overall costs of ownership, which can translate into lower rent prices or more incentive to build and maintain affordable housing options.
The resolution must pass the General Assembly by a two-thirds margin to be added to the ballot in November 2026. The constitutional amendment is being voted on in the State Senate soon. That is why it is so important for you to take action and contact your legislator to make sure they know how important it is to pass this bill.
Contact your legislator now and tell them to vote YES on SJR1/HJR2!
