I am in Harris County Texas, more specifically the city of Katy,TX where public works, school districts and such are part of the tax bill PLUS additional fraction of a percent directly to the city.The appraisal district has a particular portfolio of properties all assessed at significantly lower than what like property potentially would be valued at.

Then I looked on the Harris County Appraisal District by his name and found not only where he lived, but 3 houses on one street in the neighborhood in question. 

Looking for investors to connect with who's planning to go to Harris County Tax Sale Auction on May 1, 2018

You can go to Harris County Appraisal Districts website and see what that number is.

Sure, it might be lower middle class in NYC or SF, but you can still survive. 

I'm thinking of Harry dents book the demographic cliff .

@Tiffanie Harris you can typically bring the claim as a representative of the Trust but you need to contact your local district court and see if they have any special rules.

It sounds like you have Joint Tenancy, which means that the surviving spouse will receive a stepped up basis on 1/2 of the property (the part inherited from the deceased spouse). 

Rittiman/Harry Wurzbach area.

My strategy is to make sure I have enough equity and cash flow to survive.
