State Overview

Property Taxes in Nebraska

Nebraska's taxes rank above average nationally

Nebraska's effective property tax rate of 1.281% sits notably above the national median of 1.03%, placing the state in the higher-tax category nationwide. This 24% difference means Nebraska homeowners pay more in property taxes relative to their home values than typical Americans, ranking it among the pricier states for this burden.

County rates span from 0.749% to 1.793%

Grant County in the northwest levies just 0.749% effective rate, while Sarpy County (home to Bellevue and suburban Omaha) reaches 1.793%—a spread of 1.044 percentage points revealing substantial variation across Nebraska's 93 counties. This 140% difference means a homeowner's tax burden depends heavily on which county they call home.

Typical Nebraska homeowner pays $1,972 annually

With a median home value of $152,847 and median property tax bill of $1,972, a typical Nebraska homeowner spends about 1.3% of their home's value on annual property taxes. This is substantially lower than the national median tax bill of $2,690, primarily because Nebraska homes are valued roughly 46% below the national median.

Metro Omaha pays double rural Nebraska's rates

Sarpy and Douglas Counties—anchoring the Omaha metropolitan area—carry median tax bills of $5,157 and $4,295 respectively, more than five times the $853 bill in rural Grant County. This stark urban-rural divide reflects both higher home values in the metro and higher effective tax rates needed to fund suburban services and schools.

Nebraska is a moderate-to-high tax state overall

Nebraska's 1.281% effective rate places it above the national norm, making it a less tax-friendly choice for property owners—yet rural Nebraskans enjoy some of the nation's lowest rates. The real story: Nebraska is a tale of two states, where living in metro Omaha carries substantial property tax costs, while rural counties offer genuine tax relief for those seeking it.
