Anderson County, Texas Property Tax Calculator
Figure basis: Official US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimatesThis Anderson County, Texas property tax calculator estimates the annual property tax on a home using the county's median effective property tax rate, which the US Census Bureau reports as 0.92% of a home's value. Enter a home value to see the estimated yearly property tax at that median rate. The Census figure is derived from the median real estate taxes paid in Anderson County, Texas ($1,702) divided by the median home value ($185,300), from the American Community Survey 5-year estimates. Property tax in the United States is set locally, so your actual rate depends on your city, school district and any special districts within Anderson County, and on how your property is assessed. Two homes of the same value in different parts of the county can have different bills once exemptions and municipal rates are applied. Use this as a sound county benchmark, then check the Anderson County assessor for your property's assessed value and the exact local millage rate, plus any homestead or senior exemptions you qualify for. The median real estate taxes and median home value here are official Census figures; the effective rate is the simple, disclosed ratio of the two.
Anderson County, Texas's median effective property tax rate is 0.92% of home value (Census: median tax $1,702 on a median home worth $185,300). On a $400,000 home that is about $3,680 a year.
How Anderson County property tax is estimated

Property tax is levied by local governments, so your exact rate is set by your county and municipality. The median rate above is a benchmark; check the Anderson County assessor for the assessed value and local millage that apply to your home.
Anderson County: a below-median Texas rate, with caveats
Among Texas counties, Anderson County comes in on the lower side. Its 0.92% median effective rate sits below the state county median of 1.19%, a gap of roughly a fifth. On a median home value of $185,300, the median annual property-tax bill lands around $1,702.
The caveat: Texas has no state income tax, and property taxes do the heavy lifting locally, so rates vary sharply between districts. This 0.92% is a county-wide Census median, not your rate. What you actually owe reflects your city and county millage, your school district, and your assessed value.
Before assuming the bill is fixed, check the levers available to you: the homestead exemption, senior or veteran exemptions, and the assessment-appeal process if the appraised value looks too high.
