The homes behind Show Low's payments
2,296 of Show Low's housing units (30%) are held for seasonal, recreational or occasional use, so not every home in town is a year-round residence. At 9.83 per $100 in FY2025-26 (6.05 primary plus 3.78 secondary), Navajo County's average total rate sits $29 a year per $100,000 of limited value below Maricopa County's 10.12. It averages all property, so it points a direction without pricing any one home.
On owner costs, Show Low ($1,505) lands between neighbors Cottonwood ($1,503) and Sedona ($2,213); on monthly taxes the three read $90, $116 and $264 in that order. Median gross rent in Show Low is $1,110, $395 below the $1,505 median owner cost with a mortgage, so a payment search starts above what the median renter pays. Show Low's boundary covers 66 square miles at about 190 people per square mile, so addresses inside the same city limits can sit in different tax areas and districts.
Same price, different payment in Show Low
The Census median real estate tax paid in Show Low is $1,391 a year, or 0.46% of the median home value, which puts it 17th-highest of 39 places on this site for tax share. Two homes at the same price can still land on either side of that median, depending on the tax area and any district lines on the parcel.
