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 Nolan County, TX
Homes in Nolan County, Texas, are inexpensive by almost any standard, with a median value of $96,300. That price point keeps the median annual property tax bill at $1,475, even though the county's effective rate of 1.532% sits well above Texas's statewide median of 1.183% and ranks 39th among the state's 250 counties. Someone weighing a move to Maryneal, Nolan, or Wingate should expect property taxes to eat a larger share of a home's value than in much of the country, since the national median rate is just 0.794%. Households here earn a median of $50,747, and per-capita income is $32,182. The low purchase prices help offset the higher rate, but the annual tax bill still lands as a meaningful line item against local incomes.
