Condition, lot, and school zone drive most of the variance. ## Get Pre-Approved First In a market that has tightened in recent years, a fully underwritten pre-approval is the difference between an offer that gets taken seriously and one that does not. Talk to a lender before you tour. ## Texas Property Taxes Texas has no state income tax but property tax rates are relatively high. Plan for total combined tax rates in the 2.0% to 2.5% range depending on exact address and ISD. The homestead exemption meaningfully reduces the bill once you owner-occupy. ## Ready to Talk Denton?
