Artesia Wells, TX — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP 78001, near Artesia Wells, property taxes run at an effective rate of 1.47% at the county level. That rate shapes what owning a home actually costs here, since it applies directly to assessed value rather than income. A household earning a given salary will feel that percentage differently depending on the price of the house they buy, and with a combined sales tax of 6.25% layered on top, everyday purchases also draw from the same paycheck. Together these two taxes influence how far a buyer's earnings stretch when weighing a purchase in this part of Texas.
