Taxes in Texas SUCK. We are being driven off our land by property taxes! Where I live (Galveston county) just bout everyone is being taxed to death by property taxes. I am going to vote against every incumbent in Texas this election. The GOP in Texas have screwed this state up. Tax tax tax, surcharge surcharge surcharge, screw the GOP in Texas.
Be careful; here in NJ people accepted those tax increases while good jobs were plentiful and now are stuck (and those jobs are gone). The public employee caste never contracts/makes do with less; once they’ve attached themselves to a host they are there forever. Here in NJ every departing company meant more and more of the costs being passed on to homeowners, and now there are vacant homes with no takers.
Property taxes in much of NJ are basically a rent payment on top of your mortgage payment every month...
