Perhaps you read an article saying "Lower" not abolish. And even that only lower for some people.

The state really does not control real estate taxes There is a law that limits the assessed value of homestead property to 3 % or the CPI whichever is less. But the local government determines the tax rate based upon anticipated budget requirements . The total Local government requirement is extremely likely to increase each year. Your actual rate can actually decrease if you are in a growing area, but is not going to be abolished.

Hopefully readers don't get themselves into a frenzy due this thread.
