"The day I retire I am leaving Connecticut and moving to West Texas."

Did just that but chose North Carolina, instead. Property taxes, annual automobile taxes plus state income taxes were just killers. One unpleasant surprise you should be aware of, however, is that upon the sale of your Ct. home you will likely have to pay a 1% township real estate tax. This came as a total surprise to us and was not in our budget. 1% for leaving?!

1% local tax on sale of house

Thanks for the info, even if it is bad news.

I do want to budget correctly. :-)

What area did you decide to live in North Carolina?
We are also thinking about a retirement move.
