- Mike Adams highlights an alarming property tax scandal affecting many counties, where authorities improperly evaluate homeowners' properties, setting tax rates based on desired budgets rather than actual property values.
- Mitch Vexler, founder of Mockingbird Properties, explains that the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), designed to ensure fair property tax calculations, is ignored by Central Appraisal Districts (CADs), leading to overvaluation and over-taxation.
- Vexler cites the Denton CAD in Texas as an example, where 67 taxing entities submit predetermined budgets to the chief appraiser, who collects funds without following USPAP guidelines, creating multiple layers of fraud.
- The practice violates the U.S. Constitution under the First, Fifth, Fourteenth and Sixteenth Amendments, and federal law mandates that unlawful government agencies be shut down.
- Vexler warns that improper appraisals expose 37 percent of American households to bankruptcy or homelessness, as over-taxation forces people to sell their homes or face losing them entirely.
Real estate building and developing expert Mitch Vexler joined the Health Ranger Mike Adams on the "Health Ranger Report" to discuss property tax fraud.
According to Adams, an alarming property tax scandal is affecting many counties across America. County authorities are not properly evaluating the properties of American homeowners.
"They are at first determining how much budget they want to spend, and then they're taking that number and then just dividing that up among all the properties and setting the property tax rates according to how much money they want," he said before turning to his guest.
Vexler, the founder and president of Texas-based Mockingbird Properties, mentioned the existence of a document called the uniform standards of professional appraisal practice (USPAP). The USPAP was created by the nonprofit The Appraisal Foundation, but is unfortunately ignored completely.
The USPAP also has property tax calculations based on the actual values, income and expenses. But this isn't being carried out because predetermined budgets are handed to the Central Appraisal District (CAD) by taxing entities.
He cited the Denton CAD in Texas as an example, noting that 67 taxing entities – including schools – submit predetermined budgets to the chief appraiser, the official who heads the CAD. The chef appraiser then collects the specified amount without following the USPAP guidelines.
But according to Vexler, the problem gets worse when the state comptroller gets involved with its property valuation study. In this way, the state comptroller is doing the exact same thing as the chief appraiser. Ultimately, this now makes several layers of fraud – with the USPAP, Texas Property Tax Code and the Texas State Constitution's calls for a uniform and equal taxation falling on deaf ears.
"And the combination of those is a violation of the U.S. Constitution under the First, Fifth, Fourteenth and Sixteenth Amendments. So it's the absolute trifecta of completely ignoring the laws," he continued.
"And to that point, there's actually federal law that says if an agency of the government is unlawful, that agency must be enjoined. Enjoined is a fancy word for 'shut down.'"
Vexler: Improper appraisal exposes families to homelessness
Vexler noted that the problem goes beyond the Denton CAD, as its ramifications are felt in other places such as Florida and California. Thirty-seven percent of American households, defined as multi-family or single-family households in any given jurisdiction, are exposed to the danger of bankruptcy or losing their homes as a direct result of the overvaluation and over-taxation by CADs.(Related: ROBBERY: Local governments loot home equity from homeowners to cover property tax debts.)
Adams agreed with his guest, warning that this basically leads toward mass homelessness of the American people. Property tax is an escalating tax on an unrealized gain that is forcing many people to sell their farms or homes in order to pay it. This forces them to give up the property entirely and live elsewhere, or worse, become homeless.
Vexler pointed out that the Health Ranger's observation is 100 percent accurate, adding that it becomes a deeper issue when Americans are forced to pay their property tax at the risk of having their house taken from them. It is a blatant violation of the RICO Act and the perpetrators should go straight to jail.
