Hello,
We are considering moving to Pasadena, TX. We would like to know what the taxes are like for a $100,000 house. Crime rates and any other positives/negatives about the area. Thanks.

Property taxes are anywhere from 2.9% up to 4.0%, depending on if the property is located in a MUD district -- special water district that issues bonds. Also, if the property will be your primary residence, you can file for "homestead" exemption, which can lower the rate around 0.5% or so.

Your real estate agent will be able to lookup the exact tax rate if you already have one or more addresses in mind, as well as help you review the crime statistics. If you are the type of person that likes to do their own in-depth research, you can check the Harris County Tax Assessor web page to view the public information (including taxes paid for specific addresses, as well as assessed value). The Harris County Sheriff's Office also has a "Crime Statistics" section.

I do not believe this forum allows direct posting of web sites, but both sites listed above can easily be located by typing the key words into a search engine, such as google.
