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.

Frequently asked questions

What is the property tax rate in Gurabo Municipio, PR?

How much are property taxes on a median home?
On the median home ($158,500), the estimated annual bill is about $1,072.
Is Gurabo Municipio's rate high or low?

How does the effective rate differ from my mill rate?

Can I appeal my property tax assessment?
