How to read these numbers
- These are estimates from a survey, not a count. The American Community Survey asks a sample of households. The ± figure is the Census Bureau’s margin of error: the true value is very likely within that range of the estimate. Small places have large margins.
- “Too imprecise to report” means the margin of error is at least half of the estimate, so printing the number would suggest accuracy that does not exist. A “rough guide only” note means the margin is a quarter to a half of the estimate.
- Property tax bill and home value are medians for owner-occupied homes. Half of the homes are above the figure and half below. A median bill is not the rate set by a city or town; the bill combines taxes levied by every local government that serves the home, such as the school district and county.
- “Calculated” rows are worked out by Untax the Roof from the Census figures above them. They compare two medians, so they describe the place, not a particular household.
- Missing is not zero. Where the Census Bureau publishes no figure, this page says so.

If property taxes go unpaid in Texas
How it works. Judicial tax-lien foreclosure or tax-warrant seizure followed by sheriff/constable tax sale and deed; property remains subject to statutory post-deed redemption
Excess sale money. 34.02 sends excess after sale participants to court clerk. 34.03 requires clerk to retain excess for 2 years and notify former owner when amount exceeds $25; 34.04 provides claim procedure. 2025 S.B.2878 changed notice delivery wording but retained two-year holding/claim structure
