This reflects Burnet's desirable Hill Country location and corresponding real estate premium.
Moderate rate, upscale property values
Burnet County's 1.126% effective rate runs slightly below Texas's average of 1.276%, but the county ranks higher in absolute taxes paid due to elevated home values.

Burnet County's $310,500 median home value dwarfs most neighbors—nearly double Callahan County's $144,800 and well above Camp County's $159,900.
