In Texas, if the house is your primary or "homestead" residence, then if the value of the property goes up by a factor of 2x in a year, then your assessed property taxes will only go up by 10% for that year. And 10% the year after, and the year after, and so on and so on, until the assessed tax value matches the property value (which will also presumably continue to increase, but maybe not by 2x every year).

So, typically the tax authorities will asses your home value one year and increase that, then your land value the next year and increase that, and the switch back to the home value for the third year, and just keep switching back and forth, and meanwhile pushing against that 10% limit as hard as they can every year.

But you do have to make sure that you get that "homestead" declaration filed correctly.

There are a number of ambulance-chaser type law firms in Texas that specialize in fighting tax assessments that increase by too much, and many of them work by taking the deal for free and then they'll split the savings with you if they win. Be careful who you choose in this space.
