FHA lending in Travis County, Texas
Because Travis County falls inside the Austin metro area, its 2026 FHA limit is a high-cost $571,550 for one unit instead of the statewide floor. Most FHA loans here close in and around Austin, the county seat, along with Pflugerville and Manor. Against a local median near $394,000, the limit leaves comfortable room for most homes, though premium pockets can approach it.
Property taxes in Travis County run roughly 1.81% of assessed value, and homeowners insurance averages about $2,700 a year locally — both are quoted from the actual property rather than a statewide average, so your pre-approval holds up under contract.
Travis County carries a HUD high-cost designation, which lifts its ceiling above the Texas standard limit. Compare every Texas county.
