Of course, if you don’t own land or home in Texas, their taxes to seniors are nil. My good friends are selling the house they’ve lived in for decades and downsizing into a retirement community. I don’t think they’ve thought through the taxes but as long as their new home isn’t some type of condo, they should get a tax break for it.
One can “Homestead”1 property in Texas and the Taxes are mere pennies compared to regular Taxes.
Isn't that identical to the old, "I don't pay property taxes - my landlords pay property taxes" fallacy? The landlords simply shift the burden to the renters by "upping" the rent.
