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 Neosho County, KS

In Neosho County, Kansas, buying a home costs far less than in much of the country: the median home value sits at $111,300, and the resulting annual property tax bill comes to about $1,637. That works out to an effective rate of 1.471%, which is slightly under Kansas's statewide median of 1.506% and places the county 61st among the state's 105 counties. Nationally, though, the picture shifts — the U.S. median effective rate is 0.794%, so buyers here should expect to pay a higher share of home value in taxes than the average American. Households earning the median income of $56,618 would owe roughly 2.9% of that in annual property taxes. Erie, the county seat and largest of its principal towns, anchors a market where low purchase prices keep overall housing costs within reach despite the above-average tax rate.

Frequently asked questions

What is the property tax rate in Neosho County, KS?
The effective rate is 1.47% — meaning the median tax bill equals about 1.47% of the median home value.
How much are property taxes on a median home?
On the median home ($111,300), the estimated annual bill is about $1,637.
Is Neosho County's rate high or low?
Compare it to the state median of 1.51% 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 Neosho 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 Neosho County assessor within the local deadline, typically with comparable sales as evidence.
