Voters in several states are about to have a chance to rein in surging property tax bills. 

North Carolina, Wyoming, Florida and Oklahoma all have some kind of property-tax limit or rollback on the ballot this November. This follows bills passed in more than 10 states since early last year, including Iowa and Georgia recently, aimed at hemming in a growing source of frustration for many homeowners. Lawmakers in yet more states are debating the issue.
