After LB 34

Key   Findings

*   Nebraska's pre-LB 34 efforts to rein in property taxes proved insufficient, with property tax bills still
    rising sharply.
 * The  existing system         of property tax credits involved significant timing effects and limited take-up, pro-
   viding delayed and inadequate relief, while revenue limitation provisions lacked teeth.
 *  Under LB 34, Nebraska now             has its first true levy limit, but design flaws will yield undesirably lax con-
    straints some years and unworkably strict limits in others.
 * The  Nebraska Unicameral has an opportunity to revise the property tax package enacted in 2024 to
    ensure that Nebraskans enjoy meaningful property tax relief, while protecting against unintended con-
    sequences for housing markets.
