Buying a home in Travis County
Texas has no state income tax and leans heavily on property tax instead, and in a high-price county like Travis that combination makes the tax line substantial. A homestead exemption on your primary residence lowers the taxable value and Texas caps how fast a homestead's assessed value can rise each year — meaningful protections in a market where values have climbed fast. Check your exemption status before trusting any estimate.
As a worked example, a $400,000 home with 20% down and a 6.55% 30-year fixed rate works out to about $2,033 a month in principal and interest, plus roughly $467 for property tax at Texas's 1.4% average — a core cost near $2,500 before insurance and any HOA. Enter prices you're actually seeing around Austin to get your real figure.
