[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lived in Texas for 14 years, was a homeowner for two. While there's no state income tax, the property taxes are pretty high to make up for it. They don't seem to be suffering.[/quote]

My husband’s family lives in Texas-  We live in MoCo. we pay $14,500 in property taxes and over $30K in state income taxes.  My BIL lives in Austin’s and pays about $18K in property taxes.  Our home values are the same.

I would take their bill.[/quote]
that 18k in property taxes is probably on a 500k house. your 14.5k in property taxes are on a 1.3M house. does that sound right? my property taxes in rockville for a 1.1M house are 12k
in the austin urban core (east of mopac, west of 35, south of koenig and north of oltorf), a 500k house is a shack. anywhere else, you're in a soulless suburb like cedar park. you get what you pay for[/quote]

You can tell this pp actually lived in Austin and knows what she's talking about while the other pp has never lived there and doesn't know. I lived in Austin for a while North of Ben White Blvd but South of the river and anyone that thinks Texas has low taxes has never lived there.[/quote]
