Notable Texas Rules

Texas has no state income tax, but compensates with high property-tax rates. The general homestead exemption removes $100,000 from the school-district portion of the assessment (raised in 2023). Annual taxable-value increases on homesteaded properties are capped at 10%. Disaster insurance (especially wind/hail along the Gulf Coast) adds substantially to the homeowners-insurance bill.
