LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) - Proposition 17, also known as House Joint Resolution 34, would affect Laredoans and everyone living along the Texas-Mexico border.

The constitutional amendment would exempt property owners in border counties from property tax increases associated with border security infrastructure. This includes border walls and improvements installed or built on their land.

If passed, it would add the property tax exemption to the one-time payment property owners get from the state of Texas once they agree to allow border security projects on their land.
