How 2021 High Home Price Sales Will Affect 2022 Property Tax Bills

Home Tax Solutions CEO and Founder, Trey Rome

Last Year's Rising Home Prices Have Affected 2022 and 2023 Property Tax Bills

Property tax lenders, such as Home Tax Solutions, provide flexible and affordable plans to homeowners that offer relief to pay taxes and stop the accruing fees and penalties from the county.”

— Trey Rome, Founder and CEO of HTS

DALLAS, TX, USA, February 22, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- For the past year, the topic at dinner tables and water coolers has been how home prices have shot through the roof. Whether people decided to buy, sell, or stay, they are still responsible for paying the increased property taxes that came along with that increased home price.

For 2022 taxes, the market value on a home was set on January 1, 2021. However, home 

prices in North Texas, and many other cities across the U.S., have been on the rise - with a median price in North Texas of approximately $310,000. According to data from local real estate agents, the cost of a previously owned single-family home in North Texas has increased by more than 50% in the last five years. Homeowners will more than likely face even higher property taxes for the next year.

If homeowners want to get an idea of what their tax bill would be, they can visit their local tax assessor collector webpage to search for their property. Property taxes are calculated by multiplying a home’s market taxable appraisal

Mrs. Lincoln Didn't Steal the Manure, Says New Book by Kevin Orlin Johnson

The Lincolns in the White House sets the record straight on many aspects of the Lincoln administration.

Lincoln Studies Just Likes to Fling It at the First Lady

Actually, she put a stop to the groundskeepers’ theft of the manure and put the money back where it belonged.”

— Kevin Orlin Johnson, Ph.D.

DALLAS, TX, U.S.A., February 21, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- One of the favorite ― and most bizarre ― tropes in the literature on Abraham Lincoln is that Mrs. Lincoln stole cartloads of manure from the White House and sold them to buy personal items for herself. That’s not true, says Kevin Orlin Johnson, Ph.D., author of The Lincolns in the White House: Slanders, Scandals, and Lincoln’s Slave Trading Revealed, published this month by Pangaeus Press.

It shows a really hateful attitude toward Mrs. Lincoln, Johnson says, and a lamentable lack of knowledge generally. “Actually, she put a stop to the groundskeepers’ theft of the manure and put the money back where it belonged.”

In Lincoln’s time and half a century after, the White House grounds were home to a lot

These pieces were beyond beautiful, my heart was so filled when I saw them. I knew immediately the perfect home for them.”

— Jerome Karam, Founder JMK5 Holdings, Real Estate Mogul

FRIENDSWOOD , TEXAS, USA, February 20, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Jerome and Leslie Karam acquired 14 historic French Christian masterpieces known as the “Station of the Cross” from renowned author Anne Rice for Mary Queen Catholic Church. Because of their vision and generosity these French oil paintings now resided in their Church in Friendswood, Texas. The parishioners of Mary Queen Catholic Church 

enjoy the beauty and reference of these incredibly lovely antiquities from 1830, every day.

The story of how these 14 masterpieces found their way from Paris to New Orleans to Friendswood is remarkable, a mission of love and faith.

In 1830, the Daughters of Charity were sent from Paris, France to New Orleans, Louisiana to the poorest and most vulnerable. They immediately set up schools and hospitals helping the outcast, the ones no one wanted. The Daughters of Charity main focus was children, in 1865 a girl’s boarding school was built in New Orleans, St. Elizabeth School.

Within a few years due to yellow fever and cholera a flood of children were left without one or both parents. In 1872 St. Elizabeth’s became an orphanage for girls. The nuns purchased several buildings next to them to accommodate their growing needs, creating a 47,000 square foot home. In their expansion,
