Property Tax Assessment Values Across Rowena, Runnels County, Texas

The assessed value is the market value minus any applicable exemptions or limits determined by local laws and offerings. The tax assessed value is the figure used to calculate your property taxes or the amount multiplied by your tax rate to get your tax bill.

Assessment notices are sent in April each year and typically reach your mailbox by the middle of the month. Each property owner receives an assessment notice that contains both the market value and assessed value, along with an estimate of your property tax bill.

For example, the median home price in Rowena is $113,675, with a median property tax bill of $1,574. Tax bills range from $945 at the 25th percentile to $3,108 at the 90th percentile, and ZIP code 76875 has both the highest median home price and the highest median tax bill at $113,675 and $1,574.
