My property tax rate is 2.1%. With the Homestead Exemption, it is 1.4%. Is that high? I'm not familiar with the rates of other states.
Little bit, our's is .96 in Nevada plus no state tax. I believe the homestead exemption is if you've lived in the home over 2 years and are exempt from paying capital gains tax. Not sure if they call it something different in Texas.
Not really, the cost in Dallas is high. The cost in Fort Worth, Plano, and Arlington are all low. I believe the stadium is in Arlington anyway. I have put a lot of thought into moving down there, Dallas has the 5th highest rate for job growth, and there are plenty of low cost places to live within 20 minutes of it.
The no state taxes does not mean anything, they make up a lot of it with very high property tax.
