     But don't move to any municipality if you actually want to avoid property taxes (they're kinda nuts).

     The only states with higher property taxes aren't really America (Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, Illinois, & New Jersey)

     @BowsacNoodle @givenup if you want a state with NO income tax, low property tax, low sales tax, and low cost of living
     The best state by far is Tennessee, and has been for the last 5-7 years.
     The only state better for taxes is Alaska but the cost of living kicks it down the list

     Yeah, TX doesn't have an income tax and the property taxes within cities are insane. Basically if it weren't for municipal taxes, the statewide property tax burden of Texas property owners wouldn't be anywhere near as high as it is. Taxes are generally low at somewhere about .25% in any given county, but balloon rapidly once you start adding in the special district, ISD, and city taxes. The one good part, however, is that rural property owners have annexation protections and a couple exemptions they can get, plus if your property is your only home in TX, it can qualify for a homestead exemption. The biggest benefit, IMHO, of rural property owner rights in TX come in when you buy unrestricted property (because fuck pulling permits).

     @BowsacNoodle @Frondeur @elftummy @givenup In Texas, they need to find a way to make raw land affordable so that land owners will maintain it. If I had to pay the same taxes on my acreage that I pay for my house property, there would be no way. But because I get the tax break, I can own the land, put livestock on the land, and keep it maintained and watched over. It's win- win, I would think.
