Prohibit Taxation of Real Property by the State Amendment
Plain-English Summary
A legislatively referred constitutional amendment that would amend Article II, Section 28 of the Tennessee Constitution to prohibit the state government from levying any tax on real property. Property taxes in Tennessee are currently levied at the local level only; this measure would constitutionally bar the state from imposing one.
What each outcome does
If approved, the Tennessee Constitution would prohibit the state government from imposing any tax on real property; local governments would still be able to levy property taxes.
If rejected, the state remains constitutionally permitted to levy a state property tax (although it does not currently do so).
