The tax rate on property is closer to 1.8% and not 6.7%. So you would have to have a home over $300k to pay $6700 in property taxes. Also I am not aware of a income tax, at least not in Dallas. The sales tax is a bit high though at approximately 8%.

One of the properties I'm looking at has City of Austin, Williamson County, Austin Community College, Williamson County FM/RM (roads??), Round Rock ISD, and Upper Brushy Creek water collection. Total tax was $1800 on $210k
