The typical homeowner pays $800 a year
Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county. About 2.31% of the home’s value, vs 1.49% across Texas.
Typical yearly bill next door and statewide
The Housing page’s calculator splits a monthly payment into loan, tax and insurance at Lakeview’s rate.
Can I afford it? →The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.
Memphis Independent School District
Lakeview’s K–12 school district, shared with Estelline, Memphis. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $20,678 per pupil, $12,088 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
Texas districts overall: 51% local, 36% state, 13% federal.

Lakeview didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.
