This page is for informational purposes only and is not tax, legal, or financial advice. Figures describe the median homeowner household in Concho 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 33% from $1,352 to $1,799. 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 largest reported group here falls at the bottom of the national range: 139 of 655 owner-occupied homes (21.2%) report annual real-estate taxes under $800. This distribution describes reported owner-occupied homes, not an affordability judgment for any property.
The rate is in the national top quarter while earnings are only moderately above the midpoint, so the median bill claims 2.7% of median household income. A high rate is affordable only relative to something, and this is what it is relative to here.
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 Concho County Homeowners Actually Pay
The single largest group of Concho County homeowners, 139 of 655 owner-occupied homes (21.2%), pays less than $800 a year. The median is one point in this spread, not a typical bill.
- Less than $800 21.2% (139)
- $800 to $1,499 17.6% (115)
- $1,500 to $1,999 14.0% (92)
- $2,000 to $2,999 20.5% (134)
- $3,000 or more 21.1% (138)

Among the highest-taxed counties in the country
At 1.68%, Concho County sits in the top 6% of all U.S. counties by effective property-tax rate. That is the rate, not the bill: a high rate on a modest home can still produce a smaller cheque than a low rate on an expensive one, which is why the $1,799 median bill is the number to compare against another county.

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 far above the national average of 0.92% puts Concho County in the "Expensive" 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 Concho County or any other county.

What tax filers report in Concho County
The IRS county file records no returns reporting real estate taxes on Schedule A for Concho County. That is a limit of the published data rather than a finding about the county: county-level figures are withheld where the counts are too small to disclose safely, which is common in places with few filers. Roughly one county in sixteen is in this position, so the filer view available elsewhere on this site is simply not available here. Source: IRS Statistics of Income county data.
