My journey to freeing my property from extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) began with frustration. As a property owner within an ETJ, I was subject to a range of city regulations without having any representation in local government. Regulation without representation is Un-American and anti-democratic.Â
Regulation Without Representation
Living in the ETJ meant that I couldn’t vote in local city elections, yet I was still being regulated by the city. This lack of representation left me feeling powerless and voiceless. The city imposed numerous regulations that restricted how I could use and develop my property, but I had no say in these decisions. This imbalance of power was not only frustrating but fundamentally unfair.
Taxation Without Representation
Adding insult to injury, I was constantly threatened with a local city Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT) of 7% on my overnight revenue. Despite this financial burden, I was excluded from the city’s HOT committee. This meant that I had no influence over how these tax funds were used, even though they were directly impacting my business. This type of forced taxation without representation was a significant motivator for me to seek change.
Lack of City Services
Perhaps the most egregious issue was the complete lack of city services. Despite being subjected to city regulations and taxes, the city provided no support or services to ETJ residential and commercial property owners. This deliberate neglect was highlighted during two 500-year floods, which happened 3 months apart, that devastated the area. The city refused to support ETJ residents and businesses, leaving us to fend for ourselves during this very difficult period. The city’s failure to provide essential services, even in times of disaster, was the final straw. I had to get out of the ETJ!
Taking Action
Fed up with this unjust situation, I decided to act. I completed extensive research on ETJ regulations and the process for removing my property from the ETJ. Armed with this knowledge, I embarked on the journey to free my property. The process was not easy, but with persistence and determination, I succeeded in less than 100 days. The sense of relief and empowerment I felt was indescribable.
Founding Free My Property
Following my success, dozens of residents and business owners approached me, asking if I could help them achieve the same outcome. Realizing that many others were facing the same struggles, I decided to create Free My Property. My goal was to provide a solution for others who were tired of being regulated and taxed without representation and who wanted to regain control over their properties. Each of us has the right to be free!
