Data Story
About Property Taxes in King County, Texas
King County's tax rate data remains limited
While King County's median property tax of just $541 suggests an extremely low tax environment, complete assessment data is unavailable due to the county's small, rural population. This figure alone runs 80% below the national median property tax of $2,690, hinting at exceptional affordability.
King County ranks among Texas's cheapest
A $541 median tax bill places King County far below the Texas state average of $2,193, suggesting rates well below the statewide average of 1.276%. King remains one of the most affordable corners of the state for property owners.
King County undercuts all regional peers
King's $541 median tax is roughly half that of Kinney County ($1,244) and a fraction of Kendall ($5,890) or Kaufman ($5,036). In West Texas, King offers exceptional tax relief.
King County residents pay under $600
The median property tax bill in King County stands at just $541 annually, making it one of the nation's most affordable taxing jurisdictions. Without mortgage debt, residents pay $533, underscoring the county's extremely low effective rate.
Even low assessments warrant review
Rural properties sometimes hide assessment errors that work in the county's favor—but mistakes can cut both ways. File an appeal if you suspect your assessment is incorrect, ensuring your records remain accurate.
