How This Calculator Works
Texas's average effective property tax rate is 1.60% of a home's value each year, the 2nd highest of 51 (50 states and D.C.). On the state's typical home, worth about $305,000, that comes to roughly $4,880 a year, or $407 a month in escrow.
Because home prices differ so much, the yearly bill ranks differently from the rate: Texas's bill on a typical home is the 11th largest of 51, in the top third. On a $350,000 home it would be about $5,600.
Of Texas's neighbors, Louisiana (0.55%), Arkansas (0.57%), New Mexico (0.67%) and Oklahoma (0.82%) have a lower average rate; the table below lists them all.
These are Texas averages; your county, city and school district set the actual bill.
