Frequently asked questions
- What is the average property tax rate in Texas?
- Statewide, Texas's effective property-tax rate is 1.491% — the state median real-estate taxes ($4,232) divided by the state median home value ($283,800), from the Census ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates. The national figure is about 0.937%. Individual counties vary widely; the table above shows each one.
- Which Texas county has the highest property taxes?
- Sort the county table by effective rate or by median taxes paid to see the highest and lowest. Effective rate (taxes ÷ home value) and raw dollars paid can rank counties differently, because home values differ so much across the state — both columns are shown.
