The Charts Property Bill
New rules would put pie charts on property tax bills
Allowing municipalities to vote to require that pie charts, bar charts, and QR codes be placed on property tax bills depicting where and how tax dollars are being allocated.
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would force towns to put pie charts and links on your property tax bill so you can easily see exactly where your money goes.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Property tax bills can be confusing. This bill tries to fix that by making towns show you the math. Instead of just a big number to pay, you would get a pie chart showing how much goes to schools, the town, and the county. It also requires a graph showing how spending has changed over the last ten years. The only downside is that printing these fancy new bills might cost towns a little extra money. But for regular people, it is a big win for knowing where your tax money goes.
