A friend of mine said that buying property in Texas is cheap, but the taxes are higher than in other states. Is this true ？
Total, is property in Texas a good deal ？?

People who come from other states are surprised at how high property taxes are in Texas.
Although some states are higher.

Yes, taxes may be high, but overall the house is new and clean.

Are the above people writing from some other state ？
Texas has no income tax. I would much rather have no income tax than property tax, etc.
Property taxes are determined by city and district, not state. It also depends on the size of the property and the building coverage of the house. All districts with high property tax rates are upscale residential areas, and in the case of Texas, many of them are historic buildings. If you come from Japan, you would be surprised at how large the lots are and the houses are as big as castles.
The districts with low property taxes are where blacks, Hispanics, and other low-income people live as renters. If you are worried about property tax, you should buy a small house in Houston area or rent a house.

Also, if you have lived in the US long enough to consider buying a house, you know that property taxes here are used for sanitation and schooling in the area, so the areas with high property taxes are very clean, safe and the schools are all progressive.
