Informational notice
Figures describe the median homeowner household in Logan 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.
The rate gave way faster than almost anywhere
Between the 2020 and 2024 releases the median home value in Logan County rose 62.2%, from $107,900 to $175,000. The effective rate fell 30.4% over the same span, a steeper move than in 97% of U.S. counties.
The median bill still rose 12.9%, to $1,712. Where the rate drops this far and the bill rises anyway, what changed is the value the rate is applied to.
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 $1,516 to $1,712, a gain of 13%. This is a comparison of published ACS medians, not an explanation of a particular property's assessment or tax bill.
The heaviest band is also the fullest one here: 57 of 236 owner-occupied homes (24.2%) report annual real-estate taxes above $3,000. That band has no upper edge in the source, so the county median understates the burden carried by the plurality rather than describing it.
Both the income and the rate here sit in the third quarter nationally, and the median bill is 2.3% of median household income. Two above-average figures pulling in opposite directions is why the rate on its own is a poor guide.
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.
Paying off the mortgage changes the picture here
20.6% of Logan County homes owned free and clear (32 of 155) report no property tax at all, against 0.0% of homes still carrying a mortgage. A reported zero is not proof of an exemption: it can equally mean a bill paid by another party, or a reporting artefact. But a gap this size is where age- and disability-based relief usually shows up, because those programmes reach owners who have finished paying.
What Logan County Homeowners Actually Pay
The single largest group of Logan County homeowners, 57 of 236 owner-occupied homes (24.2%), pays $3,000 or more a year. The median is one point in this spread, not a typical bill.
- Less than $800 17.8% (42)
- $800 to $1,499 20.8% (49)
- $1,500 to $1,999 11.0% (26)
- $2,000 to $2,999 12.7% (30)
- $3,000 or more 24.2% (57)

Below Nebraska on both measures
Logan County's effective rate runs 34% under the Nebraska median and its bill 52% under. Both sitting on the same side means the gap is not a valuation artefact: a county can post a low rate purely because its homes are expensive, but then the bill rises to meet the state. Here it does not, so the $1,712 median bill reflects a genuinely lighter charge than the Nebraska norm rather than a different denominator. Compare it against the state page before reading anything into the county rank.

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.

IRS county file: no disclosed Logan County Schedule A rows
The IRS county file records no returns reporting real estate taxes on Schedule A for Logan 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.
