Informational notice
Figures describe the median homeowner household in Goshen County as reported to the Census Bureau; your parcel can differ. Not tax, legal, or financial advice: check the county assessor or a qualified professional before decisions that depend on these numbers.
Most of the market's rise reached the bill
The effective rate here moved 8.8% down between 2020 and 2024, a smaller shift than in 65% of U.S. counties. With the median home value rose 29.9%, the median bill rose 18.4% to $1,419: the rate did comparatively little to offset the market.
Effective rate is the published median bill divided by the published median home value, so the two multiply back to the bill exactly; the rate's movement here is derived from those two figures rather than read from the rounded published rate. Both are ACS 5-year survey estimates for the median owner-occupied household, compared across non-overlapping releases. They describe what the Census published, not a local policy, assessment, or exemption change.
How to read this county's bill
Bills rose across 2020-2024, from $1,198 to $1,419, a gain of 18%. This is a comparison of published ACS medians, not an explanation of a particular property's assessment or tax bill.
The fullest band here is the $800 to $1,499 range, holding 1,254 of 3,808 owner-occupied homes (32.9%). 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 2.4% 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 Goshen County Homeowners Actually Pay
The single largest group of Goshen County homeowners, 1,254 of 3,808 owner-occupied homes (32.9%), pays $800 to $1,499 a year. The median is one point in this spread, not a typical bill.

- $800 to $1,499 32.9% (1,254)
- $1,500 to $1,999 14.1% (537)

Same rate as Wyoming, a smaller bill
The effective rate here sits within 4% of the Wyoming median, yet the median bill runs 20% below it. When the rate matches and the cheque does not, the difference is in what is being taxed, not how heavily: the same percentage applied to cheaper housing produces $1,419 here. That is why comparing counties on rate alone can invert the answer a homeowner actually cares about.

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.
