Somebody said that the property taxes in Texas are higher than in in Illinois. Then they provided an example, where the two taxes are the same but one house is DOUBLE the square footage of the other.
I pointed that out. End of discussion.

Property taxes are based on the assessed value of the home. SF plays a factor, but it's not the factor. You can find 1700 SF condos in the city w/ property tax bills near $10k. The property tax rate in TX is higher. As Sentinel said, the government gets its $ one way or another. The COL between the two is nearly identical.
