On a $132,500 home, that county portion alone is roughly $582 per year, before adding any additional taxing jurisdictions. City and school district tax rates were not provided, so I can’t break down a city rate, an Ector County ISD rate, or give a reliable combined total rate for a typical Quail Run Estates bill. Your exact total will depend on the specific address and the taxing entities assigned to it, so it’s important to verify the full rate on a property-by-property basis. On the income side, the median household income is $56,877 and per capita income is $28,990, which helps frame affordability alongside the area’s median gross rent of $1,073.
