Property owners in Harris County paid 1% of the value of their homes in property taxes in the second quarter of 2025, which is less than 0.9 times the national average, according to the real estate analysis posted by SE Houston News.
The median sales price of a Harris County home in the second quarter of 2025 was $215,179, based on data from the 10,803 properties sold during that time. In 2025, the median tax bill for the county was $2,124, which is 1% of the median value of the homes that were taxed.
This is 0.9 times lower than the average effective property tax rate of 1.11% in the U.S. in 2023.
The analysis of Harris County real estate data showed homeowners in Wimbledon Country, Cutten Green, and Westfield paid the highest rates.
The above article calculates the effective property tax rate for 2025 using estimated inflation values and 2021 tax data provided by the county. In some cases, the actual effective property tax rate may vary slightly.
The U.S. housing market has surged in recent years, with its total value approaching $50 trillion in 2024—nearly five times its value in 2000.
“The value of America’s housing market will likely cross the $50 trillion threshold in the next 12 months as there are not enough homes being listed to push prices down,” said Redfin Economics Research Lead Chen Zhao.
The following table compares Wimbledon Country with some other cities belonging to Harris County by their median effective property tax rate, calculated using sales and property tax data from the second quarter of 2025.
