Property Taxes

When you buy a house, the appraised value for the following year may be the price you paid if 1) it was an arm's length transaction and 2) other neighborhood factors support the sales price. After that, increases in appraised values are capped at 10% per year. For further information on taxes, go to the Harris County Appraisal District web site.

Texas does not have a personal income tax. 

QUICK CALCULATION: Your property taxes will be slightly less than 2% of your appraised value each year with a homestead exemption in place, which reduces your appraised value (and tax bill) by 20%. You must apply for the exemption during the first full year that you occupy the house and it will remain in place until you sell.
