I may be relocating to the Houston area in the next couple of months and am considering Katy (or points east) as a likely target.

Can anyone give me information on differences in property taxes in Fort Bend county vs. Harris county?
Is there a significant difference?

Also, if anyone knows where I can look for forclosed properties, I'd appreciate that info as well.

I'm coming from Dallas and am looking to get the most house for the dollars that I can afford,
since I will probably not be able to sell my house unless I sell it at a discount.

I'm looking at maybe keeping my Dallas house for my daughter and buying another, so I want to explore the options.

Thanks.

On the fortbend side of Katy i've found that taxes tend to be a little higher (maybe .15% or so). But when I was quoting auto and home insurance, the rates in fortbend county were so much lower I actually came out better off buying in the area with higher property taxes. I am buying a sub 200k home though.

you can now search forclosures on har.com.
