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 Isabela Municipio, PR
Isabela Municipio’s effective property tax rate of 0.443% sits above Puerto Rico’s statewide median of 0.389%, placing the county 28th among the island’s 72 municipios. That ranking signals a tax environment somewhat heavier than the commonwealth norm, though the gap is narrow. Against the national median of 0.794%, however, Isabela’s rate is barely more than half, so homeowners here face far lighter property taxes than most Americans. The practical effect shows up in dollars: with a median home value of $136,200, the median annual real-estate bill comes to $604. That figure lands against a median household income of $23,266 and per-capita income of $14,167, so while the rate itself is low by mainland standards, the surrounding economic picture shapes how much that $604 actually weighs on local budgets.
