Property Tax Bills Across Cushing, Rusk County, Texas

Property tax bills in Cushing are based on the assessed value of a home, not its market price alone. Local taxing authorities apply their tax rates to that assessed value to determine the final bill, so the amount a homeowner pays depends on both the property’s valuation and the combined local tax rates.

For a home with a median home price of $103,550, the bill can vary widely across homeowners. The 25th percentile tax bill is $439, while the 75th percentile is $1,708 and the 90th percentile reaches $2,895. In zip code 75760, the median tax bill is $923.

These differences matter because even similar homes can face very different tax bills if their assessed values or local rates differ. For homeowners, that means understanding how the bill is calculated can help explain why taxes change and why some properties pay more than others.
