Summary: One of the biggest financial wins for East Coast luxury buyers relocating to Dallas is Texas’s zero state income tax. Buyers from high-tax states like New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts are keeping tens of thousands in their pockets annually, redirecting that money toward luxury living, private schools, and custom home features.
Unlike the tax burdens many East Coast residents face, Texas makes it easy to preserve and grow your wealth—especially when investing in high-end real estate.
Annual Savings Breakdown for High-Income Buyers
State | Approx. State Income Tax (on $1M income) | Texas |
New York | $88,000–$100,000 | $0 |
New Jersey | $75,000–$85,000 | $0 |
Massachusetts | $50,000–$62,000 | $0 |
"Texas's tax structure is a game-changer for high-net-worth families," says Nitin Gupta, Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) and Graduate, REALTOR® Institute (GRI). "You’re not just buying more home—you’re building long-term financial stability."
