BW | If I buy a home that is constructed in 2008, Do I have to pay property taxes on it in 2008? |
I remember when I was talking to a realtor about a new home, she mentioned something about only having to pay property taxes on the land for the first year since it's new construction. Is this true?
Additional Details
The home I am thinking of purchasing is in Houston, TX if that makes a difference. |

You do have to pay them, but it won't be until 2009 because taxes are always a year behind. So in 2009 you'll be paying the taxes for 2008. |

Not entirely true, you have to pay a partial completion status tax on top of the land, which is still usually less than the value of the entire house. This is usually covered in your closing costs though. |

Probably correct, since tax assessments are based upon the value of the property as of January 1 in most areas. Since you have nothing but land on January 1, the taxes will most probably cover the land only. Once the house is completed and valued as of January 1, 2009, you will get a full tax bill.
You might check your state statutes to see if this holds true in Texas. |

It would be advisable to talk to the tax board in your town. That should be easy.
How would anyone here know what goes on in your town?
try a logical approach. the net is not the repository for all knowledge. |

Should be from the date of purchase to the end of the year...that is the way it is in Ontario. |

It depends on where the house is, what City, County etc.
Check with the taxing authority.

Your best option is to talk to the County Tax Assessor Office in Houston ,Texas; they are the experts in that area. |

No you wouldn't have to pay property taxes because it is usually abated for the first couple of years. |
