Comparative score against U.S. county percentiles on Census ACS medians (effective rate, bill, income share, mortgage gap, home-value/income). Higher means more affordable on those published medians, not a recommendation to buy, sell, appeal, or move, and not your personal tax bill. Missing inputs drop out and redistribute weight.

This page is for informational purposes only and is not tax, legal, or financial advice. Figures describe the median homeowner household in Beaver County as reported to the Census Bureau, your own bill can differ based on your parcel's assessed value, exemptions, special districts, and municipal overlays. Always consult your county assessor, tax collector, or a qualified professional before making decisions that depend on these numbers.
How to read this county's bill
The bill here climbed steeply over 2020-2024, up 55% from $657 to $1,020. These ACS medians describe the reported change; they do not identify whether a levy, assessment, home value, or change in the responding households caused it.
The fullest band here is the $800 to $1,499 range, holding 525 of 1,353 owner-occupied homes (38.8%). The band shows where the largest share of reported owner-occupied households falls; it is not an individual-bill estimate.
Both figures cluster near the middle of the national range, and the median bill comes to 1.6% of median household income. Counties like this are the reason a national average exists at all, and also the reason it explains so little.
The share above is the median annual bill divided by median household income, a ratio of two county-level medians rather than a household-by-household figure.
What Beaver County Homeowners Actually Pay
The single largest group of Beaver County homeowners, 525 of 1,353 owner-occupied homes (38.8%), pays $800 to $1,499 a year. The median is one point in this spread, not a typical bill.

- $800 to $1,499 38.8% (525)

Property Tax History
| Year | Median Tax (vs prior release) | Effective Rate |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | $1,020 +13.7% | 0.78% |
| 2023 | $897 +17.3% | 0.76% |
| 2022 | $765 +7.0% | 0.72% |
| 2021 | $715 +8.8% | 0.74% |
| 2020 | $657 | 0.67% |
Each row is a separate ACS 5-year release, and consecutive releases share four of their five survey years. The percentage beside each bill is therefore movement in the published estimate against the previous release, not a single year's tax change. The two releases largely describe the same households. For change over time, compare releases that do not overlap.
Tax Burden
Tax Affordability Score
An effective rate notably lower than the national average of 0.92% puts Beaver County in the "Affordable" band for property tax burden.
How this score is calculated: a 1-10 scale derived mechanically from the ratio of this county's effective rate to the national average effective rate (0.92%) - a ratio at or below 0.5× scores 10, a ratio at or above 2.0× scores 1, with a linear scale between. It is a factual comparison of Census figures only, not a recommendation, quality rating, or endorsement of Beaver County or any other county.
Counties with similar tax profiles
On effective rate, Beaver County sits nearest Vance County (NC), Phillips County (MT), Deer Lodge County (MT).

What tax filers report in Beaver County
Of the 2,140 federal returns filed from Beaver County in 2022, 50 (2.3% of filers) itemised and reported real estate taxes on Schedule A, averaging $1,300 each. The largest group was filers with adjusted gross income of $100-200k, who accounted for 60% of the county's reporting returns.
Two things this does not say. The amount is what filers reported, recorded before the $10,000 cap on combined state and local tax deductions applies, so it is not the amount deducted. And the share is of everyone who files a return, not of homeowners: most filers now take the standard deduction, so a minority itemise at all.
