Property Tax Bills Across Blair, Washington County, Nebraska
Property tax bills in Blair are calculated by applying local tax rates to a home’s assessed value, which is based on the market value of the property.

For homeowners, this means a higher market value can lead to a larger tax bill, even if nothing about the property itself has changed. In Blair, the median home price is $260,500, and the median property tax bill is $2,697, which is above the national median property tax bill of $2,400 and slightly above the national median property tax rate of 1.02%.
