I lived in Houston 2003-2005. In and around Houston, the real
estate property tax was 3.5% to 4%.
Unlike Calif with Prop 13, TX can raise its property tax anytime
the local government needs to. Also add school tax. TX does have
very good public schools, better then CA. CA public schools are
going broke.
wow -- that's high property tax. I lived in NY state close
to the MA border for a number of years and it is 2.8% which seemed
really high. Across the border here in MA, which is a more
affluent area, taxes are much less, maybe 1.8% or less.
