Don't move to KY.

The highest income tax in the nation. Property tax hovers around 1% for me, until they add in bonds for the school, college, ambulance district, lift station and landscape and lighting districts. Sales tax is 7.875.

When I moved to Texas from norcal it was a nice pay raise.

My 20 year old mustang is about $80, my wife's 12 year old Acura is about $90, my 2 year old Ram is about $8-900.

Lets just compare to being a homeowner in Texas.

Lets say u make 150k a year (7.5% tax in Cali)
U own a 750,000 home
and have 2 newer cars. (Cali $600 per car per year, 100 per car in Texas)
(not including sales tax or Federal tax.)

So in Cali my calculations is your tax is approx $19,500
In Texas, property tax is 2.5% to 3.5% in many cities. Your yearly tax is somewhere between 19k to 24k.

If your a homeowner in Texas your not getting that much better of a deal then California. A California 750k home, will be more likely 300-400k in Texas, maybe less, and that is where your savings come in, and interest charges on that home.

Nevada is just as bad if not worse my 13 duramax cost $1023.00 + $55.00 smog test. Smog check is an absolutely ridiculous been registering 5 vehicles for the last 10 Year’s and have yet to fail a smog test yet I see beaters smoking like a chimney everyday.

Huh? Im in NV and mines 450.00 for my 2015 Ram 2500. New it was 550.00

State taxes in TX?

Nope

No income tax but we do have a hefty property tax. In my case I would prefer a 7.5% income tax and not a 3.2% on my home. I would save money. Makes sense for me, but probably not for non home owners.

[Bryanmc57]

I'd have to recheck my tax rate but I don't think it's anywhere near 3.2% here. Of course, we voted down building a $32M high school in this town of 3000 people.

The good news is I only paid $3.79 a gallon for gas today..... CRAZY

I doubt u are either range is about 2%+ to 4% in some cases, in Texas. My home in Jasper is 2% I think, Katy is 3.4% actually in my area, 3.2% after homestead.
