I have property in a Texas county with a total rate at almost $0.75 so all of these I would consider to be very low. The 2006 property tax rates in Texas counties were as high as $0.9936 and as low as $0.23192. However, it is my guess that most people did little tax research before moving to Texas. They were just moving away from long winters and snow.
My rate in Fannin county is 0.62 which is a rural county that borders the Red River.....higher taxes but no traffic and friendly folks...heckuva deal!
