How this is calculated
The effective property tax rate is the median real-estate tax bill divided by the median home value — both for owner-occupied homes, from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS 5-year estimates)1. Median income is also from the ACS1. Federal and state income-tax figures use IRS2 and Tax Foundation3 data.
About Gila County, AZ
Gila County’s effective property tax rate of 0.514% matches Arizona’s statewide median exactly, so the county sits right at the middle of the state’s range rather than standing apart from it. That still places Gila County below the national median of 0.794%, meaning owners here pay a smaller share of home value than the average American property owner. Within Arizona, the county ranks eighth of fifteen, a middle position. A median home value of $269,400 produces an annual tax bill of about $1,386. With median household income at $61,986 and per-capita income at $35,047, that bill amounts to roughly two percent of household earnings. Communities such as Globe, Hayden, and Winkelman fall under this rate, and the figures point to a property tax environment that is neither unusually cheap nor unusually costly by state standards.
