Our county commissioners voted in a tax increase a couple months ago, that offsets the savings from the homestead exemption increase. THe increase they voted in was just below the threshold that would have sent it to the county voters instead of them being able to approve it. Funny how that happened.

Paid my taxes on my primary residence Monday morning and brought with me a little more than I had to pay last year. Was pleasantly surprised when it was several thousand less than the year before.
If you try to buy a car with cash the dealers get wierd and make you fill out paperwork for the IRS concerning a cash transaction but when you do the samething at the tax office they don't blink an eye. Why?
Property taxes bother me. Why should I have to rent back the property that I own outright from the government? Everyone receives the same services from government or has the potential to so why isn't everyone made to pay the exact same amount in taxes? A simple head tax would the most egalitarian way to collect taxes. You can always move somewhere you find more to your liking.

Kind of hard for them to go down when they bump your property's appraised value by 46% over a 2-year period.

My property taxes went down almost a grand from what I paid last year, but my insurance went up about a grand (even after shopping around and getting a new provider), so......

Paid a bit over 20k Monday at the tax office in downtown Dallas and there was no IRS paper work. Printing the receipt was the longest part of the transaction. Both transactions were cash. In the next few weeks I'll go to Collin County to pay property taxes but I don't think the bill is going to eclipse 10K but I'm going to ask them if I have to fill out IRS paperwork if it did eclipse 10K. I don't know anything about the fire department in Frisco and don't have a frame of reference to judge it by. If theirs is better then maybe they should pay a surcharge for the excellent service.

Yes, we saw a good reduction. I froze my taxes at $4,800 when I hit 65, which was 5 years ago. Without the freeze, my taxes would be around $10,300 now. Since the proposition passed, my new tax bill is $3,600 and I believe that it has become the new freeze amount.
I don't like high property taxes but I am quite comfortable with the services provided out here in Henderson County. My address is the town of Eustace (population 1,100) but I live about 7 miles out of town.

Got our 2023 statement today. Only $200 less than last year, big whoop. Good thing I only had to travel 1 mile to vote for a tax reduction. Typical politics, lower or keep rates and exemptions the same but raise the appraisal values. Been going on forever.
