The Texas Tax Trap Calculator
Most buyers don't realize Texas resets property taxes to the purchase price — not the previous owner's assessed value. Your monthly payment could jump hundreds of dollars. Run the real numbers before you write an offer.
An interactive Excel calculator (enter any home price, city, and school district — see your projected tax bill instantly) plus the full explainer guide (PDF). The same projection I run for clients before they write an offer.
See what the trap looks like at your price.
Pick a price and a city. This is the year-2 tax bill the builder's flyer doesn't show — the same math that's inside the free Excel.
Choose a city to see the number.
The free Excel runs this for any price, city, and school district — and adds the year-1 estimate so you can see the jump coming. Get both files below ↓
