What you'll pay, at a glance

Property taxes are the largest local tax most homeowners pay. The effective rate measures the real tax bill as a share of home value — a more useful number than the nominal “mill rate,” because assessment practices vary county to county.

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.

Frequently asked questions

What is the property tax rate in Gila County, AZ?
The effective rate is 0.51% — meaning the median tax bill equals about 0.51% of the median home value.
How much are property taxes on a median home?
On the median home ($269,400), the estimated annual bill is about $1,386.
Is Gila County's rate high or low?
Compare it to the state median of 0.51% and the national average near 1.1%.
How does the effective rate differ from my mill rate?
A mill rate is the nominal levy per $1,000 of assessed value. The effective rate reflects what you actually pay after exemptions and assessments — it's the median tax bill as a share of median home value, so it better predicts your real cost.
Will a reassessment raise my tax bill?
Not necessarily. If your home's assessed value rises, your bill can go up, but only if the mill rate and exemptions stay flat. Contact the Gila County assessor's office to review your current assessment.
Can I appeal my property tax assessment?
Yes. Most counties allow an appeal when you believe the assessed value exceeds the market value. File with the Gila County assessor within the local deadline, typically with comparable sales as evidence.
