The tax math

Texas taxes new construction on market value, and Lavon's 2026 adopted total is 1.867541 per $100 — that's the number your monthly payment is actually built on, not the builder's quote.

What the arithmetic looks like on a $600,000 purchase: $600,000 × 0.01867541 = $11,205/year ≈ $934/month in property tax alone. That's straight math on the adopted rate — your assessed value and exemptions change the real bill. Run your own numbers with the real monthly payment calculator or grab the Texas Tax Trap Calculator before you write an offer.
