Property Tax on $100k home

  • The Town of Enchanted Oaks, Texas proposes a tax rate that will raise more taxes for maintenance and operations than last year's tax rate.  The tax rate will effectively be raised by 8 percent and will raise taxes for maintenance and operations on a $100,000 home by approximately $ 14.04.                                               
  • The notice above is a bit misleading, but is required by law.  8% applies to the TOTAL taxes of all 400+ properties, excluding newly built homes.  Individuals may see an increase or decrease in their bill - depending on personal changes to property valuations and exemptions. 

Budget

This budget will raise more total property taxes than last year’s budget by $ 26,123   and   9%, and of that amount $4,088 is tax revenue to be raised from new property added to the tax roll this year.
