Additionally, there is a seven-day holiday for home construction and repair items. This will allow shoppers to avoid sales taxes on items such as appliances, electrical wiring, plumbing inspection equipment, and much more.

Another piece of the proposal will give homeowners and businesses a break on property taxes. This measure will give homeowners a refund if their property value is below market value. However, the homeowner will have to submit an application and be verified by an official. Those who are eligible for the refund can also apply for tax reimbursements with their local property appraiser.
