Harris county bumps property taxes 8%

[Brains]

Don't live there, and then you won't have to deal with it.

Anyone one's goal while living in Harris County should be to get the hell out of Harris County...........

That was the case for me. We left in 2020, a concrete requirement when house hunting was 'not in Harris County'. Ended up maybe 10 minutes into Montgomery County.

Another example of taxation without representation. Where is Ken Paxton or Greg Abbott? This crap needs to be brought to their attention.

This is a local issue not a State issue. HarrisCounty chose those who represent them.

I know but I am starting to believe they need too.

The idiots voting for the assholes who implemented this shit are largely NOT property owners, but renters and free-shit-army types. They don't have the fundamental math and reasoning skills to understand how voting for commies and tax-thirsty types will negatively effect their own way of life and drive the costs of rent, utilities, and consumer goods up. Some don't care because they already rely on tax payers to pay the burden of life for them. Others work but they're stuck in stupid. They'll bitch that their rent is sky high, but still vote for the idiots causing their rent to be sky high and their wages to stay low trapping them in mediocrity.

I don't live in Harris County, and will never, ever live in Harris County but I feel bad for the good folks stuck there by choice or situation.

The taxpayer dollars the government takes in, the more it increases spending.
