How much more will you actually pay? 💰

On Sept. 17th Harris County approved an approximately 7.6% increase in combined county-related tax rates. That does NOT mean your entire property tax bill is increasing 7.6%. School, city and other local taxes are set separately.

Here’s the estimated additional annual cost, assuming taxable values and exemptions stay the same:

$300,000 taxable value: about $145 more
$500,000 taxable value: about $241 more
$750,000 taxable value: about $362 more

These examples use taxable value AFTER exemptions, not your home’s market value.

Where is the money going? The budget addresses a projected $181 million shortfall, with spending pressures including law enforcement pay, healthcare, courts and public defense. County-related taxes also support flood control and other services.

Your actual increase depends on your property’s taxable values, exemptions and other local tax rates.

Happy to answer any questions! 📩

Happy Friday!

If you don’t know the difference between *inside the Loop*, *near the Loop*, and *emotionally inside the Loop*, this post may not be for you.

Buyers caring about flood risk over schools, learning HEB development plans, the real meaning of "charming" and emotional seller language faster than they learn square footage.

Location matters. Renovations can lie. HOA fees hurt.
WELCOME TO THE 2026 HOUSTON REAL ESTATE MARKET!

Who says December is a slow month?

With steady sales and homes going under contract even this late in the year, the Houston market is proving there’s still plenty of opportunity for both buyers and sellers. Momentum is strong, and deals are getting done!

For Houston area homeowners this November: the decisions you make at the ballot box could reduce your tax bill, especially if one or more of the amendments pass and local tax relief measures apply to you. But relief isn’t automatic — rising home values and local tax decisions still play a big role.

Stay informed, review your local ballot, and make sure you’re ready to vote with the full picture in mind.
