FLUFFYGERM 06/28/18 5:46:39 PM #6:	That makes sense, then. In 10 years, the property tax has definitely gone up in the area. Being that it's a Houston suburb, it's in high demand and a lot of businesses have been moving into Austin/Houston/Dallas. Plus if they've remodeled a lot and made it much nicer, people will pay that rate because they get value out of it. --- Do good. Eat communists. <cite>FLUFFYGERM posted [p:904144063] in My apartme...
