Comparison of property tax rates across Texas counties

LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Data from the Texas Comptroller’s Office shows the Lubbock County tax rate adopted in 2024 for the current fiscal year is the 194th highest out of 254.

This isn’t an apples-to-apples comparison across the state since part of the property tax equation is appraised value; some counties have average homestead values in the $200,000 range, others are above $400,000. The current average homestead appraisal in Lubbock County is $223,528.

That said, here are property tax rates adopted last year in dollars per $100 valuation. Note: some counties impose taxes for an optional Road & Bridge Fund, shown as R/B below, and/or a Farm to Market/Flood Control Fund, shown as FMFC. The list is sorted by the rate adopted last year excluding R/B or FMFC.
