Property Tax Bills Across Dumas, Moore County, Texas

How are property tax bills calculated in Dumas?

Property tax bills in Dumas are based on the assessed value of a home, not its market price. Local taxing authorities apply their tax rates to that assessed value to determine the annual bill. Because the bill is tied to assessment, any change in a home’s value or in local tax rates can affect what a homeowner owes.

What factors are considered?

Home value is the main factor, and the median home price is $131,310. The amount can vary widely across homeowners, with the 25th percentile tax bill at $906, the 75th percentile at $3,311, and the 90th percentile at $4,637. The median tax bill is $2,134, which is below the national median property tax bill of $2,400 and below the national median property tax rate of 1.02%.

How does this affect homeowners?

A higher assessed value can lead to a larger tax bill, while a lower assessment can reduce it. For homeowners in Dumas, that means property taxes can have a meaningful impact on annual housing costs, especially when local rates or assessments change.
