I have often heard "You should move to Pflugerville because there are lower taxes out there". But if we compare the tax rates for a house in Austin and a house in Pflugerville we see that Austin has a lower tax rate. Austin Austin ISD 1.4930 City of Austin .4126 Travis County .4499 Travis County hospital district .0734 Austin Community College .0965 Total 2.5254                 Pflugerville Pflugerville ISD 1.6800 City of Pflugerville .6240 Travis County .4499 Travis County hospital district .0734 Travis County ESD No 2 .1000 Total 2.9812 Although Austin has a lower tax rate what has led to this misconception is that houses in Austin are more expensive and therefore property taxes are higher. But if you are deciding between a 200,000 house in Austin and a 200,000 house in Pflugerville the taxes on the Pflugerville house will be greater than the Austin house even though people think Pflugerville is an area with low taxes.
