What kind of house does this dude own, is it literally the one in the picture?

Even though Texas apparently has some of the higher property taxes in the country, the average rate is still below 2% of the assessed value, and even in the county with the highest property taxes, the median rate paid is about $5k per year.

Basically, his house must be worth over half a mill, which will buy you a friggin palace in most parts of the state (except Austin).

So $416/month. The original post cited $500/month. So a little above the median rate. What's unbelievable in the slightest?

That was the highest median of any county in Texas. For the entire state, the median rate is less than half of that.

Half a mil? The house in that picture would be 3-5 mil minimum.

Decent houses in a safe neighborhood start at 500k and go way up from there.

I’m no expert on taxes but this doesn’t sound quite right. I own a ~400k house now (bought at $200k) and my “property” taxes are over $8k per year almost $700 a month. Here we consider property taxes the property, school, county, & sewer taxes together.

Yes I know that’s outrageous and yes I am basically angry about it at all times
