Median effective rate = total real estate taxes paid ÷ total home value, for owner-occupied housing (2024 American Community Survey). YoY change is the inflation-adjusted change in taxes paid, 2023–2024. "N/A" indicates the Census Bureau's sample size was too small for a reliable county-level estimate.
Frequently asked questions
What is the property tax rate in Texas?
Texas's effective property tax rate varies significantly by county — from about 0.22% in Borden County to about 1.80% in El Paso County. This is based on the median amount homeowners actually pay relative to their home's value (US Census Bureau, 2024 American Community Survey), not a single statutory rate. Select your county above to see its specific median rate.
What county has the highest property tax rate in Texas?
El Paso County has the highest median effective property tax rate in Texas, at approximately 1.80%. This means homeowners there typically pay about 1.80% of their home's value in property tax each year, based on US Census Bureau data. Actual bills vary by individual assessment and any exemptions.
What county has the lowest property tax rate in Texas?
Borden County has the lowest median effective property tax rate in Texas, at approximately 0.22%. This means homeowners there typically pay about 0.22% of their home's value in property tax each year, based on US Census Bureau data. Actual bills vary by individual assessment and any exemptions.
Why is this an estimate and not my exact property tax bill?
Property tax in Texas, like everywhere in the US, is calculated using your home's assessed value and the local mill rate set by your county, city, and school district — not a flat statewide percentage. Our estimator uses the county median effective rate (what a typical homeowner actually pays, relative to home value) to give you a reasonable estimate. Your actual bill depends on your specific assessment and any exemptions you qualify for.
Why don't all Texas counties show data?
2 of 254 counties in Texas are missing data because the Census Bureau's sample size was too small in those low-population counties to produce a reliable estimate. This is a data availability limit, not an error.
