Today's Insight

Texas has no state income tax. But the average Texas homeowner pays $7,200 in property taxes annually — more than most states' total tax burden.

The Texas homestead exemption saves qualifying homeowners $100,000 from school district appraisals — but it must be filed by April 30. Most new homeowners miss it entirely. That's $1,500–$3,000 left on the table every year.

Texas.money tracks every exemption deadline, protest window, and property tax change so you don't have to.
