Texas property taxes are very high.
As far as sales tax:
You live in Alberta, the only province without a PST.
Even so, the sales tax there is 5%. It is 6.25% in Texas.
If were are paying a HELL of a lot more sales tax in Texas then something was wrong.
Most provinces have combined sales taxes between 12% & 13%. That is a HELL of a lot more than Texas, or most states for that matter.
