Nolensville Is Lying

The city of Nolensville says it needs to raise property tax because of the need to provide additional services to a rapidly growing community. The necessity of a tax increase now is hokum because the growth has actually broadened the tax base. With vastly more people paying property tax, there is no need to increase rates. The larger number of homes means a greater number of homeowners paying the property tax, which naturally increases the city coffers WITHOUT having to raise tax rates. The argument over this is similar to those who refuse to use dynamic scoring when it benefits them to push for higher marginal tax rates at the Federal level. The politicians and bureaucrats pushing this municipal tax rise always have a rapacious appetite to take more and more of your money.
