Informational notice
Figures describe the median homeowner household in Natrona 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 held while the market moved
Natrona County sits in the quarter of U.S. counties whose effective rate moved least over this span: 5.5% down, against a median home value that rose 26.7%.
A near-steady rate on a moving market passes that movement straight through: the median bill rose 19.7%, from $1,374 to $1,645.
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 $1,374 to $1,645, a gain of 20%. 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 7,293 of 24,967 owner-occupied homes (29.2%). The band shows where the largest share of reported owner-occupied households falls; it is not an individual-bill estimate.
Above-median earnings meet a slightly-below-median rate, and the median bill amounts to 2.3% of median household income. That is the comfortable middle of this dataset, and comfortable middles are easy to overlook when only rankings get published.
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 Natrona County Homeowners Actually Pay
The single largest group of Natrona County homeowners, 7,293 of 24,967 owner-occupied homes (29.2%), pays $800 to $1,499 a year. The median is one point in this spread, not a typical bill.

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.
