Posted by Randy Kelley on August 10, 2010
If you’re PCS’ing to a military installation near San Antonio, you’ll want to know about local taxes and the costs of registering your automobile and insuring your home. Here are the facts:
The area’s sales tax rate averages 8.125% but may vary a little between the various incorporated jurisdictions in and around San Antonio and Bexar County.
The real estate property tax varies between jurisdictions and is influenced mostly by the school tax component. Count on approximately 3% for the more costly school districts to as low as 2% or less for rural areas.
What about homeowner’s insurance? The cost will vary between insurers. As a rule of thumb, count on paying approximately .005 times your home’s value.
