He means that tax in Detroit is steep relative to Texas.

Are you talking about the property tax rates in Texas or Detroit? Detroit's property tax, at least according to the article, is 6.7%. That's what the GP was referencing.

No I was referring to the rates in Texas. I may have mistook what the original poster was saying.

Property taxes in Texas can vary by quite a bit depending on where you're located, since so many special districts are overlaid, and have taxing authority. One of the properties I'm looking at has City of Austin, Williamson County, Austin Community College, Williamson County FM/RM (roads??), Round Rock ISD, and Upper Brushy Creek water collection.

Total tax was $1800 on $210k
