My DS lives in Texas @Alex T , and a lot of the areas around him pay 3%, so if you’ve got a $600,000 home, that’s $18,000 a YEAR! If you live in the house (as opposed to renting it out) you get homestead exemption, and if you’re over 65, the portion covering schools is frozen at the time of purchase. We’ve been told the property tax ‘could‘ go down on new developments once things like schools have finally been paid for.
We don’t pay anything like that here either, our Council seems to be fairly efficient athough we’re not quite that old yet that we need social care
