Texas already has some low taxes compared to the rest of the U.S.. Not only does the Lone Star State have no state income tax, but inheritances and estates are typically not taxed at the state level. Plus, friendly retirement taxes make Texas one of the best states for retirees to live.
However, property taxes in the state can be a bit high, at 1.47%, compared to the national average effective rate of about .90%. But that’s a general rule of thumb, and certainly not the case for every county.
