[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Property taxes are pretty high in TX, aren’t they? I’ve seen 3-4% of assessed value, but my recollection is hazy. Do you have a reference you could furnish? TIA!

>> Do you have a reference you could furnish?

Well, you can have a look at this giant chunk of flesh they just tore out of my butt with their teeth and claws... would that work for you? :-)

But seriously, I just put the calculator to it... our tax burden (all jurisdictions tax / appraised value) worked out to 2%. (Austin area)

Depends on the county. Of course, there's no state income tax. The political class has tried to sell it a few times, usually by offering a lowered property tax, but proposing one is still the best way to get out of politics and back into the private sector. Just about everyone who's floated a state income tax has been out of office after the next election.
