What can be discussed precisely here is property tax: the city property tax rate is $0.8146 per $100 of valuation and the county property tax rate is $0.3810 per $100 of valuation.

On the upside for household budgeting, Texas has no state income tax, so many residents weigh higher local property taxes against the savings from not paying state income tax.
