$6,399 a year, as reported by the listing (tax year 2026 as the listing reports it).
Worth a look
Inside a MUD or similar special district, which adds its own tax on top of these rates.
For comparison: the published rates come to about $5,660 a year ($472 a month) if taxed at the full asking price before exemptions. Label: estimate, not a bill.
Texas mails 2026 tax bills from October, so a 2026 amount entered before the bills go out is most likely the 2025 bill or an estimate. Confirm the amount with the county tax office.

AREA OF MINIMAL FLOOD HAZARD
Special Flood Hazard Area: no · Map 48453C
Special Flood Hazard Area: FEMA’s mapped 1%-a-year flood zone (zones A, AE, AO, V). “No” means the point is not inside one on the current map; it is not a statement about drainage or past flooding.
An exact point intersection with the effective map. A building or lot can extend across a zone boundary; check map amendments for the property.
Verify the effective map at FEMA ↗What to verify next
Confirm the listing’s reported coordinates against the street address and actual building. This point is not a survey or a parcel boundary.
Understand location accuracy →Review the returned zone and subtype, then locate the building or lot relative to its boundary. A point result does not describe the entire property or its drainage history.

For context
IN PLAIN WORDS
A state alcohol license issued to Beverage Barn Liquor & Smoke at 200 S Main St #B in ZIP 78621 is dated 2026-07-13, and a license record does not confirm the business is open.

Foodbox 12, located 0.4 mi away at 17615 E US 290 EB STE C ELGIN, TX 78621, was inspected by the county on 2026-08-19 with a score of 88 of 100, which is that inspection's result, not a review.
