I have a timber/ag exemption on 20 acres down the street and pay $228 taxes. My house with the homestead exemption is less than 350. My daughter bought a forclosure up the block and will pay 835 but come May she’ll protest her taxes on the lower appraisal value, plus the homestead exemption. Plus no city wage tax or state income tax.

I really dislike you guys. I get stuck with over $4000 on 5 acres. It seems the state comptroller decided that my county is a "rich" county, so we should pay more for the other counties. Robin Hood is alive and well in Texas.

You must be closer to a city, probably Austin. Montgomery County is growing by leaps and bounds. Land values are still sweet here and soon will be good investments.

Get some goats and chickens, plant some fruit trees, and claim an ag exemption on the area not around the house.

I didn't realize dad hadn't done that until after he was dead. He could have saved thousands in property taxes. Sister that got that property did so, asap, but she put llamas and an alpaca on it. I discrecommend that.

Nobody likes RobinHood.

But we’re working on it as you well know.

It was the libs in Austin that started that BS, with the help of Dubya.
