Texas Taxes

[moonfly]

My company is moving to Ft. Worth (Haslet) and since I'm from Florida.... I have no clue about all the taxes Texas and all the local taxing units assess, but I have heard they are plenty: real estate prop tax, school district taxes, personal property (vehicles), etc. What are some high tax areas I should avoid? Any tips to keep taxes low? I'm single.... no kids.... and urban, so probably looking into condos and towhhomes. Would anyone like to break it down for me?

I've been looking at North Fort Worth, myself (Keller/Saginaw/Heritage/Blue Mound) up in the Alliance Park area. In downtown Fort Worth, there are a number of condo projects and I'm fairly certain Fortworthology can give you a run-down of what projects there are, where they're located, and roughly what to expect cost-wise and tax-wise. I'd be an urbanite myself, if it wasn't for not being single and having two young children. :-)
