Property Tax Bills Across Whitharral, Hockley County, Texas

What determines a property tax bill in Whitharral, Texas?

Property tax bills in Whitharral are based on the assessed value of a home and the local tax rates set by taxing authorities in Hockley County. When a property’s market value changes, the assessed value can change too, which affects how much tax a homeowner owes. The tax bill is calculated by applying the local rate to that assessed value, so homes with higher values generally face larger bills.

For Whitharral homeowners, this means the tax bill reflects both the property’s value and the area’s tax structure. With a median home price of $52,930, the typical bill is relatively modest compared with the national median property tax bill of $2,400. Still, bills can vary widely, with the 25th percentile at $224, the 75th percentile at $1,157, and the 90th percentile at $1,913.
