Amendment 2
Amendment 2
Tennessee · November 3, 2026
What this measure does
Prohibit the legislature from enacting taxes on property
A yes vote means
The state legislature loses the power to create any new taxes on property.
A no vote means
The legislature keeps its current ability to create new property taxes if they choose to.
Simple explanation
Right now, your state legislature can create new taxes on things you own, like your house or land. This measure would tie their hands and say 'no, you can't do that anymore.' It's like giving your kid an allowance but saying they're not allowed to ask for more money—they have to work with what they've got.
