What you'll pay, at a glance

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 Hudspeth County, TX

Buying in Hudspeth County means facing a median home value of just $64,000, which keeps the annual real-estate tax bill at about $801 even though the effective rate of 1.252% sits above Texas's statewide median of 1.183%. That rate ranks 105th among the state's 250 counties, and it also lands well above the national median of 0.794%. Households here earn a median of $48,600, with per-capita income at $20,866, so the yearly tax obligation stays small in dollar terms largely because prices are so low. Sierra Blanca and Fort Hancock anchor the county, and in a place like Sierra Blanca a buyer can expect housing costs that demand far less upfront capital than most Texas markets, though the higher rate means each dollar of value gets taxed a bit more heavily than the state average.

Frequently asked questions

What is the property tax rate in Hudspeth County, TX?
The effective rate is 1.25% — meaning the median tax bill equals about 1.25% of the median home value.
How much are property taxes on a median home?
On the median home ($64,000), the estimated annual bill is about $801.
Is Hudspeth County's rate high or low?
Compare it to the state median of 1.18% and the national average near 1.1%.
How does the effective rate differ from my mill rate?
A mill rate is the nominal levy per $1,000 of assessed value. The effective rate reflects what you actually pay after exemptions and assessments — it's the median tax bill as a share of median home value, so it better predicts your real cost.
Will a reassessment raise my tax bill?
Not necessarily. If your home's assessed value rises, your bill can go up, but only if the mill rate and exemptions stay flat. Contact the Hudspeth County assessor's office to review your current assessment.
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 Hudspeth County assessor within the local deadline, typically with comparable sales as evidence.
