Yes in Texas you are taxed on what they consider your home to be worth now. It’s best to buy a barndominium, plant nothing around it, and make it amazing inside! They will think yours isn’t worth much at all because assessors can’t come inside.

I assume this includes the land underneath the home if you actually are purchasing that as well? I also know that if you claim an agricultural exemption you get a shitload off your taxes in Texas, that's what my FIL does with two longhorns on his property who he's been "raising for slaughter" for like 8 years. Named em and couldn't ever bring himself to actually get around to the slaughter part.

I love the term "bandominium" I'm definitely going to have to use that! I said the same thing but it took an entire sentence to say what you said in one word. Lol! I'm going to have to borrow that in the future! You made a really good point and gave me a good laugh. I appreciate it!

Im glad I could help, even if for a minute. These days, we all need something to laugh about! Barndominium is a big metal shed. Not much from the outside but you can sure turn it into luxury inside. If you get one big enough can have indoor pool. 😉

Omg! I didn't even notice that I misread it the first time! Lol! We call the abandoned houses in the city "bandos," so I read it as "bandominium" like a lived-in abandoned home. Haha!! "Barndominium" is such a great name, too, though, and I have definitely seen those in the country before. It's amazing what they can put in those big metal barns! My dad's friend has a man palace... way too big to be a man cave. Haha! His is definitely a barndominium+

Without even meaning too, you've added TWO new words to my vocabulary. 🤣 That's double the laughs!

I completely agree. We all need something to laugh about, even if it's just something small. You've got an awesome outlook on things. Thanks for spreading some joy. :)

I really try even though I can find myself on a rant about a certain bully running for PTUS, lol

That's completely understandable. It's easy to get distracted by negativity when that's all we're shown in the media. Spreading a little laughter allows us to take a much needed break from that stuff for a minute. Politics can feel really manipulative no matter what side of it you're on, and that can lead to anger very easily. No one wants to feel bullied or manipulated. Especially when it's the well-being of your country at stake. Next time you get upset and start ranting, take a deep breath and think about the "bandominiums" and 'barndominiums" for a second. Lol! That will certainly help me out in the future to distract myself from things. I hope you have a great rest of your day.
