How to read this county's bill
The bill here climbed steeply over 2020-2024, up 40% from $1,478 to $2,075. 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.
The plurality of owner-occupied homes here falls in the $2,000 to $2,999 band, at 766 of 2,478 (30.9%). This shows the reported distribution around the county median, while individual assessments can vary.
Earnings are in the national top quarter and the rate is above the midpoint, so the median bill represents 2.4% of median household income. A headline bill conflates the dollar figure with the proportion; the two come apart here, and the ratio above is the second of them.
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.

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.
