Fence Beware
Land For Sale In Texas-Roll Back Taxes: Beware
If you are in the market for some nice pasture, ranch, or hunting land for sale in Texas you may want to sit up and read this carefully. In Texas the tax base is lowered dramatically for what is called Ag land or agriculture land, this is to give farmers and ranchers a much needed tax break and I have no problem with this tax relief for them and most Americans do not have a problem with it either. In Texas there is a little known tax law or tax code that you will not be told about by the local County Appraisal District until its to late, it is call a roll back tax and if you get charged by the Texas County tax assessor it could bankrupt you depending on the value of the land you bought and what the tax bill would have been over the previous five years for the land.
If your wandering yes you did here me right the Texas County Tax Collector will charge you the new owner of the land not the old owner that was in possession of the land and yes I did say five years worth of back taxes on your land for sale in Texas. Want to know all you have to do to get nailed with this tax, just change the use of the land from agriculture to anything commercial or just not with the Texas Ag exemption. If you do change the use of the rural land the Texas County Collector will calculate what the tax bill would have been for the previous five years and yes again that was five years and hit you the new owner of the land with that tax burden, how fair is this.
I have yet to get anyone in the county appraisal district office to explain to me how this could possibly be fair, the only thing you will here from them is do it and pay us. What I don't understand is how the Texas legislature could let this go on but that's a discussion for another day like so many things. I advise you if you are looking for land for sale in Texas and it does not matter what county in Texas you need to make sure of the use of the land, how the Texas County Appraisal District Office has the land valued now and over the past five years and if it has been in Ag exemption you need to keep it that way or find another tract of land.
I will give you one example on a land tract I bought less than an hour from Dallas all we did was put a bulldozer on the property and clear the fences that were all grown up and clear out some of the mesquite trees that you can't even drive a tractor over without busting a tire. This was enough for the Appraisal District to hit us with over a $ 75,000.00 dollar tax bill for what the taxes would have been had it been commercial the previous five years so we had to run fast to our attorney to get out of that one and it was because we had a good attorney.
So if you are looking at land for sale in Texas, make sure of your land use prior to closing and signing a contract, if it is in Ag exempt keep it that way or be prepared to pay dearly.

"beware of dog" sign legal ramifications?
If I place a "beware of dog" sign on my fence as an additional deterrence from a B&E [I have an alarm system and have stickers on all of my windows and doors], am I acknowledging that my dog is aggressive and could that be held against me or my dog if he bites someone who is attempting to break into my house or enter my property without my consent?
My dog is so not aggressive, he loves everyone and anything, but he's a german shepherd/husky/blue heeler mix and will be over 100 pounds when he's full grown. My cat is more aggressive then he is.
Thanks!!!!

You are basically saying that your dog will attack if someone breaks in. The sign says that you're aware that your dog can be aggressive, but it also says that the thieves are aware and it works as a warning. "Don't say I didn't warn ya!" ;p
The real point is just to keep thieves away and it works unless they're completely stupid. Not only can dogs be mean, but they bark and alert others of the break-in.
I've seen people without dogs have those signs just as a deterrent. Whatever works.
Hypothetically speaking, if someone got badly hurt (Very very badly hurt) from your dog during a break-in and he showed extreme aggression in his attack and wouldn't stop, the city will have to consider many things to determine if your dog is a threat to others. (He might have to wear certain muzzles and stay out of certain places) but that's very, very, very unlikely. In most cases where that happens, they rule that the dog was under a stress that's unlikely to happen in normal situations.
Since your dog is friendly, it's very unlikely, and those signs are so common that they've lost all real meaning, don't sweat it! ^^
