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 Foard County, TX
Foard County’s effective property tax rate of 1.117% sits below Texas’s statewide median of 1.183%, placing it 147th among the state’s 250 counties. Against the national median of 0.794%, however, the county’s rate runs noticeably higher, a pattern common across much of Texas, where property taxes fund services without a state income tax. On a median home value of $70,700, that rate yields an annual tax bill of about $790. With median household income at $61,563 and per-capita income of $34,100, the county’s housing costs stay comparatively contained. Crowell and Vernon anchor the county, and the lower-than-average home values there help keep absolute tax bills down even though the rate itself outpaces the national figure.
