The taxfoundation puts Texas 45th on the list of highest taxed states. California is 5th. New York is number 1. If you just look at property taxes, then yes Texas is high. Number 6. New Jersey is number 1. A house similar to the one in the video is 15 to 25k in taxes depending on exemptions.
When you are just looking at property taxes then depending on the area, taxes are high. What you need to realize is we dont pay state taxes, and we dont pay personal property taxes on vehicles either.
