Land and acreage east of Austin, where lot size often pushes a file out of conventional guidelines.
Bastrop County runs an effective total property tax rate of roughly 1.7% – 2.2% depending on your school district, city and any municipal utility district. On a $400,000 home that band alone is a swing of several hundred dollars a month — more than a quarter point of interest rate moves the payment. Values are set by the Bastrop Central Appraisal District, and we escrow from the actual rate for your specific parcel, not a county average.
We are licensed across Texas and lend in every part of Bastrop County. Our files here concentrate in Bastrop. Run your own numbers in the Payment Lab with the tax rate above before you set a price ceiling.
A pre-qualification is a conversation. A pre-approval means a licensed broker has reviewed your income, assets and credit before you write an offer — and in Bastrop that difference decides which offers sellers take seriously.
