Inherited-property taxes in Texas: what to expect
When you inherit a Texas property, property taxes don't reset, but the homestead exemption usually drops off, which can raise the bill. If taxes were unpaid, interest and penalties accumulate. On the federal side, inherited property typically gets a stepped-up basis to fair market value on the date of death, which can reduce capital gains when you sell.

What this means for you.
Property taxes are the single most common reason inherited Texas homes end up in trouble. The homestead exemption that your parents had usually doesn't transfer. The bill goes up. Nobody's living there to handle it. A few years of unpaid taxes turn into penalties, then a tax suit. The good news: this is a fixable situation, and the federal stepped-up basis usually softens the tax hit if and when you sell.

Three things people worry about.
This sounds too easy. What's the catch?
There isn't one. We make money by buying properties most other operators can't or won't close on. Our offer is lower than retail because we take on the title work, the back taxes, and the family-coordination piece. You're paying for that with price, not with cash out of pocket.
What if my family finds out I sold my share?
They might, and that's their right. But they don't have to agree to it, and they don't have a veto over it. Your share is yours. We don't reach out to other heirs about your sale unless you want us to coordinate.
How do I know your offer is fair?
You compare it to any other offer you receive. We put the number in writing and we don't pressure you to decide. Take it to a CPA, a friend, another buyer. The offer stays good while you think.
