For a county with a median home price of $131,151, the tax burden can vary widely from one homeowner to another.
What a homeowner pays is influenced by where the property is located, how its value is assessed, and whether exemptions or other adjustments apply. Median tax bills also differ across the county, with the highest median tax bill reaching $2,225 in Mountain Home and the lowest at $1,014 in Camp Wood. That variation shows how location can affect the amount owed.
