I just researched the entire internet and cannot find a single municipality/school district in the entire state that goes as high as 3%, if it truly is this high I think it's time for your community to have some political changes, this is a good link for you to look yourself and according to that...


The exact property tax levied depends on the county in Texas the property is located in. King County collects the highest property tax in Texas, levying an average of $5,066.00 (1.56% of median home value) yearly in property taxes, while Terrell County has the lowest property tax in the state, collecting an average tax of $285.00 (0.67% of median home value) per year.
