Throwing the kitchen at SB10
Thursday, 28 August, 2025
In this episode, Patrick and Chad discuss the latest twists in SB 10 and what a proposed 1% property tax cap could mean for Texas cities. They break down how appraisal methods are quietly shifting more of the tax burden onto homeowners, why the Legislature’s “populist” fixes may actually worsen the problem, and what cities can do to prepare. From the looming pressure to fee out basic services, to the long-term need for more housing supply, they explore the fiscal tradeoffs facing local governments—and why telling a clearer story to residents and legislators is key to surviving the next round of reform.Timeline00:00 - Summer Reflections and Family Adventures06:15 - Legislative Updates: SB 10 and Property Tax Changes12:53 - Navigating Local Government Challenges18:13 - The Burden Shift: Residential vs. Commercial Property Taxes25:32 - The Future of Housing and Urban Development34:31 - Impact of Prop 13 on California's Housing Market40:39 - Understanding Tax Burden and Housing Development41:09 - It's College Football Season, Baby!
