Are you talking about a homestead exemption? I think most places have something like that but it's just a discount on the house you live in so not an increase on the other properties. They would just get normal tax rates for any additional properties. I think making it an exponential tax would make a huge difference.

    Yes homestead. I'm not sure how other states do it.

    Texas increased from ten thousand to twenty five thousand to forty thousand to a hundred thousand in a short period.

    So semantics. I say increase for other houses, you say discount for primary house. Either way you choose to phrase it, you pay less for your primary residence and more for other properties.
