Anyone want to move to Texas?

Here's a grand old home. I love the original well and whatever that building is beside it, nursery? greenhouse? No more months of freezing cold weather.

Gorgeous!

$1000 month just for property taxes though. Ugh.

[KathyJB]

Bleh, didn't see that. That's kinda ridiculous isn't it?

Yeah, Texas (I'm here) has to fix this somehow.

I paid about $800.00 this year. I thought that was ridiculous for an unincorporated town. I'm a bit south of you

Well the taxes are nuts but the house is AMAZING!

What a wonderful place; I would need all the furniture, painings etc. to make it work!

That's about right for near downtown Houston, but Waxahachie ???? Haven't been there in a while, but the last time that I did go there, it was closed.

My taxes are about $1000 per year, but they would be higher if I didn't send the tax assessor photos each year of things that need to be fixed or finished.

When I lived in the Dallas area, I used to love to drive to Waxahachie on weekends just to look at the old homes. Many of them are well-preserved and fancy. Lots of them are B&B's. Some are offices.

Property taxes in Texas may be higher than we like, but it's one of the few that doesn't have a state income tax (yet!).
