Did you know that property taxes can have a significant impact on your monthly mortgage payment?
Many homebuyers focus on the purchase price and interest rate, but property taxes are another important factor to consider. In Texas, property taxes are assessed annually and can affect the amount you pay each month if your taxes and insurance are escrowed into your mortgage payment.
While Texas law generally limits annual increases in assessed value for homesteaded properties, it's still important to understand how property taxes fit into your overall housing budget before purchasing a home.
Thinking about buying a home? Make sure you're looking at the full picture, not just the mortgage amount.
