Rising property valuations don’t have to mean higher property taxes.
But when local governments keep levy rates the same and spend the valuation windfall, taxpayers are left with a bigger bill.

Set your ⏰ early tomorrow as I join @kfabnews at 6:35 am to discuss property taxes and the lack of transparency when elected officials raise them.
Higher property values don't automatically have to mean higher property taxes.

Nebraska is taking less of your hard-earned money—and that’s a good thing for our citizens.
We’re proving that government can do more with less by continuing to provide exceptional services while allowing taxpayers to keep more of what they earn.
While money into government coffers are down due to refunds, sales and use tax collections are up. That means people are spending their money, growing our economy, and keeping Nebraska open for business.
Budget challenges don't require a retreat from policies that strengthen NE’s competitiveness.
NE’s income tax reductions make our state better. As lawmakers address the state's fiscal outlook, staying the course is critical to NE's future.
