Buying a home in Texas

Texas has no income tax but compensates with high property taxes around 1.63%, among the highest in the South. Austin, Dallas, and Houston metros have seen strong price growth.

With a median home price around $365,000 and an effective property tax rate of 1.63%, a typical Texas homeowner pays about $5,949 per year in property taxes — roughly $496 per month on top of the principal-and-interest payment. Use the mortgage calculator above to adjust home price, down payment, interest rate, and loan term to model your specific situation in Texas.

Understanding your Texas mortgage payment

A typical Texas mortgage payment includes four components, often abbreviated PITI:

  • Principal — the portion that reduces your loan balance each month
  • Interest — the cost of borrowing, based on your rate and remaining balance
  • Taxes — Texas's effective property tax rate of 1.63% is collected monthly into an escrow account
  • Insurance — homeowner's insurance (and PMI if your down payment is under 20%)

Lenders use the front-end debt-to-income ratio (DTI) — your total housing payment divided by gross monthly income — to qualify you for a loan. Most conventional lenders target a front-end DTI under 28%. The calculator above shows your full monthly PITI estimate so you can check that ratio before applying.
