Informational notice
Figures describe the median homeowner household in Pershing 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 Pershing County rose 56.9%, from $114,400 to $179,500. The effective rate fell 26.5% over the same span, a steeper move than in 95% of U.S. counties.
The median bill still rose 15.3%, to $1,109. 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 $962 to $1,109, a gain of 15%. This is a comparison of published ACS medians, not an explanation of a particular property's assessment or tax bill.
The largest reported group here falls at the bottom of the national range: 451 of 1,268 owner-occupied homes (35.6%) report annual real-estate taxes under $800. This distribution describes reported owner-occupied homes, not an affordability judgment for any property.
Above-median earnings meet a slightly-below-median rate, and the median bill amounts to 1.7% 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 Pershing County Homeowners Actually Pay
The single largest group of Pershing County homeowners, 451 of 1,268 owner-occupied homes (35.6%), pays less than $800 a year. The median is one point in this spread, not a typical bill.

- $1,500 to $1,999 9.5% (120)
- $2,000 to $2,999 4.1% (52)

A high rate, a smaller bill
Pershing County taxes property at 0.62%, about 32% above the Nevada average, yet its median bill of $1,109 lands roughly 45% below it. The effective rate is the bill divided by the home's value, so a county can only sit on opposite sides of the state average this way when its homes are worth materially less than the state norm. The rate is the policy; the bill is what the housing market does with it.

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.
