We are moving back to Arizona near Phoenix. Texas has an excellent economy with good incomes but overall an individual will pay more taxes in Texas: yes no payroll taxes which are $40 per week as an individual at about $90,000 salary. A house at about 3000 sf in TX is a beautiful house with 3 car garage but you will have a house built out of brick, mortar and pretty white stone. A very solid home but you will pay about $7500 in property tax. In Arizona, you will pay $2000 in property taxes maximum....
