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 Culebra Municipio, PR

For a buyer weighing affordability, Culebra Municipio stands out mainly through its low home values. The median property here is worth $104,300, and the annual real-estate tax bill that goes with it comes to just $486, based on an effective rate of 0.466%. That rate sits above Puerto Rico's statewide median of 0.389%, and the county ranks 22nd of 72 within the state, so taxes here are comparatively steep by local standards even though the dollar amounts stay small. Nationally, the picture shifts: the median effective rate across the country is 0.794%, well above what Culebra charges. Household income in the area averages $29,630, with per-capita income at $16,635, so the tax bill absorbs a meaningful share of earnings despite its size. Anyone drawn by the inexpensive housing stock should weigh the higher-than-state-average rate alongside those income figures.

Frequently asked questions

What is the property tax rate in Culebra Municipio, PR?
The effective rate is 0.47% — meaning the median tax bill equals about 0.47% of the median home value.
How much are property taxes on a median home?
On the median home ($104,300), the estimated annual bill is about $486.
Is Culebra Municipio's rate high or low?

How does the effective rate differ from my mill rate?

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 Culebra Municipio assessor within the local deadline, typically with comparable sales as evidence.
