Our taxes when we bought this place were something like 90 dollars for the year. Now without the over 65 age freeze, homestead exemption and the local additional exemptions the taxes would be $9000 a year.

$6,100.00 dollars? I'd love that Here in Austin that is about what the appraisal on the small bathroom is. But, to make you feel better: I protest the tax appraisal every year and do fairly well keeping it at the lowest possible increase of appraisal. What kills the issue is land values here. In my neighborhood land is now going for about 1.5 million and acre. We have a touch over a 1/3 acre on our lot. Hard to argue the appraisal on that since that is what land is selling for around us.

Not impossible as long as the tube type was the same or an interchangeable replacement.

"Rolling blackouts" is a mis-nomer for what is happening in central Texas. Power is being shut down in huge swaths across the larger cities knocking out power to large percentage of populations for many hours. In my are of Austin our power went off at 2:07am Monday morning and didnt come back on till 2:13 am Wednesday morning. That is 48 hours with no heat or light. Now the real number.

About the tax issue: Texas does have some of the highest property tax rates in the country. Travis county with (county tax, city of Austin tax, Austin school district tax, community college tax, hospital and ems tax, and all the other add on taxes runs right now $2.25 per hundred on tax value) is 69th highest of all counties in USA compare that to Ventura county at 123rd and Santa Barbara at 170th and Los Angeles county at 160th highest . Modoc County in California is 1552nd of all counties in USA. Of course counties that are swallowed by cities are going to be the highest tax rates and rura
