I must say that just writing the words Property Tax Decrease is a little weird. But its true Klein school district in Spring TX approved a 32 cent property tax rate decrease from the 2006 rate for 2007.
Now 32 cents may not sound like a lot, but with the median home price of $160,000 in Spring TX it amounts to $512.00 a year.
These are the savings that Spring TX homeowners were promised by the State Legislation as a result of the School Finance Reform Law that was passed in 2006. The School Finance Reform Law reallocated the share of the burden of school funding between homeowners and the state for the state to pick up a larger share. This is the final year for the transition of the school property tax reform as it was to be transitioned in over a two year period that began in 2006.
Enjoy the decrease while you can because Klein school district has launched a bond study process. The study predicts that about 20,000 additional students will fill Klein school rooms in the next 10 years which translates into the need for additional schools to be built.

If you want a Realtor who will truly look out for your best interests, give you her honest professional input and who understands the Houston area market, she is the one. She is so knowledgeable in every aspect of purchasing/selling a home and she shares all of that information with her clients. We knew she was super busy, but she never made us feel that way. We almost felt like her only clients! She is just that good! She spends the time to get to know you and what you like and she is quick at picking it up. She will give you her honest thoughts, whether you like what she is saying or not, but you know it is honest and each time she was right! She is professional, compassionate, friendly, and definitely goes above and beyond for those she works for. I really don't think you can get better ;) We were referred to her by a friend and I will be forever thankful. She not only got us into an unbelievably beautiful home at an unbelievably good deal, she helped support us through a rough sell of a home in another state. I have so much respect for her and I think any prospective home buyer/seller would be lucky to have such a great Realtor guiding them through the process. Thank you Jill for everything you did! Especially taking care of my husband as you showed him homes :) read less
