How much are the taxes on your house??

[Biff1]

Yup.

I have no idea about that market area, but I'll go with 2600sf, 4/3

 

[planomateo]

3100, 4/3, pool, 1/3 acre corner lot. No state income tax.

School district gets 1.67% of appraised house value. The rest (city, county, community college) equal up to another .75%.

Your house in my area would be close to $1 mill

1340sq ft. .48 acres. Less than 400.

Never expected to end up in Texas and I don't plan on retiring here. Not sure I'd return to Bama though, been away for 22 years (Cali and Texas). Perhaps Orange Beach or the Athens area, would have to be somewhere near or on the water I'm thinking. Montana is the leading option at this point, we'll see...

Based on where he lives I'd guess about $350k to $550k. Am I close @planomateo ?

How bout you Tex, how much are yours?

Yeah, the lower end of that number. 2.5% on $550k is almost $14k a year in taxes.

Id have to look and see. They're too damn high though, and we are going to appeal.

Do you like it out there? I've only been there once.

Easiest way was to just walk in prior to June in Collin County, the formal route I heard is a pain. The longer you wait, I'd suspect the harder it is to get decreased. I suspect they have a number they are shooting for across the county, so the ones who wait probably get the bird.

Yeah, hate driving thru Frisco every day, but it is what it is.

I was afraid of that...but I'm still gonna give it a shot

 

[planomateo]

That's just my opinion, hope I'm wrong. The Appraisal Districts are some shady ass organizations...

???

Are y'all not reasonably close to each other. What am I missing?

 

[planomateo]

Probably 20 miles, our high schools (we have 1, they have 2) are in the same division.

My God, Balls talking like you're 400 miles apart.


"Do you like it out there? I've only been there once."

Balls must not leave the ol neighborhood too much

 

[planomateo]

North Texas is congested worse than Hotlanta. Traffic is a little better though.

The cities between us probably equal about 500k people, maybe 750k.

Y'all just stay in a 1 mile radius of your house out there?

 

[planomateo]

Not at all, but you'd laugh about how overbuilt things are, they do make it easy to stay where you are though. I'm within 10 miles of 5-6 Walmarts, 5 home depots, 2-3 Lowes, etc.

I drive all over this area.
