Where can I find out the amount of tax you pay when you buy a house in Houston?

Your question is not completely clear. Do you think you pay a tax when you buy the house? Or are you asking about the yearly property tax that you must pay if you own property in a specific county.?

Yes there is.  I know that I could view everything about my neighbors including the price they paid for their house, how much it is worth now and everything there is to know about their house and land by looking in the County Tax maps section of the County website.  You will get their names and addresses as well.  \n\nOkay, I went and checked my own again.\n\nDo a google search for your county name plus the words "tax map" and you should find it there, it is all public information.\n\nOnce you get to the tax map you can search by any of the following:\nby Owner Name\nby Parcel ID#\nby Address\nby E-911 Street Range List\n\nI use the address search :)\n\nThen you can just enter the street name.  If you don't enter your house address but only your street name you will get a result returned of everyone on your street.\n\nThis will give you the Owner's name and address along with all kinds of other info.  \n\nRemember, this is the OWNER of the properties, the person who pays the taxes.  If someone rents then you aren't getting their name.\n\nOH, AND ONE MORE THING :)\nYou can find out if renters are living there by clicking on the "Advanced Real Estate Data" link and looking at the billing address.  If the billing address is different than the property's address then chances are they are renters and you probably shouldn't address your announcement to the owners.  In that case you should just address it "To MY NEIGHBOR" or something more friendly than "occupant" :)

Real estate is listed by who pays the taxes on them so if you know the address most counties have sites that will show you who pays the taxes on them.

In my area (Montgomery County MD) you can look up ownership by going to the county government's website and looking for "Property Tax" data.  Or you can go to the State Government website and look up the agency that collects real estate taxes, in this case the Dept. of Assessments and Taxation, and search the Real Property Database.  Your local and state governments might offer similar information online at no charge.  A real estate broker might be able to tell you what the links are.

You may pay several different taxes depending on where you live.\n\nSome places have a transfer tax when you buy the house, sort of like a sales tax.\n\nMost cities and counties have real estate taxes based on the value of your home. Sometimes there is a school tax, too, but sometimes they're combined.\n\nThese taxes are all deductible on your federal income tax if you itemize.\n\nSome places have a sewer tax that is based on water use so it may or may not be deductible.\n\nYour best source for this information would be a Realtor and a tax adviser.

Check with your local government, probably your County since that is usually the entity which collects property taxes.
