The bill here climbed steeply over 2020-2024, up 32% from $871 to $1,148. 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.

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