Homeowners here pay a median of $1,164 annually—less than half the national median property tax of $2,690—largely because homes are valued significantly lower than the U.S. average.

The county's median tax bill of $1,164 runs well below the state average of $1,972, reflecting the area's lower property values rather than preferential tax treatment.
