Property Tax Bills Across Reeves County, Texas
Property tax bills in Reeves County are calculated by applying the local tax rate to a home’s assessed market value. The assessed value is based on what the property is worth for tax purposes, not what the owner paid for it. Local taxing entities then use that value to determine the final bill, which can vary depending on where the home is located and which services fund the tax levy.
With a median home price of $70,368, many homeowners in Reeves County face bills that are lower than in higher-value areas, but the amount can still differ widely. The county’s tax bill ranges from $607 at the 25th percentile to $2,205 at the 75th percentile, with the 90th percentile reaching $3,663.
