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 Scurry County, TX
Scurry County’s effective property tax rate of 1.270% sits above Texas’s statewide median of 1.183% and ranks 97th among the state’s 250 counties. That gap is small but meaningful: homeowners here pay a slightly larger share of property value each year than the typical Texan, and Texas rates already run well above the national median of 0.794%. On a median home value of $113,800, the annual real-estate bill comes to about $1,445, against a median household income of $60,039 and per-capita income of $29,633. The rate itself signals a county that leans on property taxes somewhat more heavily than its state peers, though the low median home value keeps actual dollar bills below what many higher-value Texas counties collect.
