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 San Juan Municipio, PR
San Juan Municipio carries an effective property tax rate of 0.478%, which lands above Puerto Rico's statewide median of 0.389% and places the county at 20th among the island's 72 counties. That ranking signals a somewhat heavier tax load than much of Puerto Rico, though the actual dollars remain restrained: with a median home value of $171,200, the median annual bill comes to $819. Against a median household income of $27,992, that bill equals roughly three percent of what a household earns in a year, a meaningful share given per-capita income of $25,758. Nationally, the picture shifts — the U.S. median effective rate is 0.794%, well above San Juan Municipio's figure, so by that measure the county's property taxes are comparatively gentle even as they exceed the island norm.
