Texas's lightest tax burden
At 1.044%, Burleson County claims one of the lowest effective tax rates in Texas, beating the state average of 1.276% by a full quarter-point. This advantage translates to roughly $377 in annual savings compared to the state median tax of $2,193.
Clear winner in the rural Texas corridor
Burleson County's 1.044% rate beats all immediate neighbors in this region, undercutting even low-tax Callahan County (1.096%) and Camp County (1.065%). Only among the most affluent counties like Burnet does the tax burden climb higher due to property values, not rates.
Annual tax on median home
Burleson County homeowners on a $174,000 median property pay approximately $1,816 yearly—just $151 per month in property taxes. With mortgage escrow factored in, that figure rises to $2,498 annually when bundled with insurance and mortgage protection.
Appeal inflated assessments
Despite low rates, overassessment remains common; property appraisers sometimes value homes above fair market rates. If your recent assessment seems out of step with neighborhood sales, file a protest with Burleson County's appraisal district to potentially reclaim hundreds annually.
