Learn moreNebraska's real, declining 2026 income tax rate
Nebraska's top marginal rate ran 4.55% in 2026, the latest step in a legislated LB 754 (2023) glide path from 6.84% (2022) toward a flat 3.99% by 2027, applying in Aurora as statewide -- alongside a full Social Security exemption especially relevant given Aurora's above-average retiree population (base record).
Aurora's own property tax picture
Ownwell cites Aurora's effective property tax rate at 1.08% -- the highest in Hamilton County (county median 1.03%), just above the national comparison figure (~1.02%), yet well below Nebraska's own statewide average (~1.49%-1.73%) (base record).
Nebraska's real homestead exemption
Nebraska's homestead exemption offers qualifying seniors, disabled homeowners, and disabled veterans up to $40,000 off assessed value, applied for directly with the county assessor (base record).

No Aurora-specific homeowners-insurance premium figure was found this pass -- this record discloses Nebraska's statewide Hail Alley context instead: statewide averages cited from approximately $3,547 to $6,277 per year, directly relevant given Aurora's own documented record-hail history (base record).
