Local debt by county

$111.3B owed by Texas Cities at the end of fiscal year 2025. Dallas, Harris and Bexar counties hold the most. Figures as loaded 10/17/2026.

Showing Total principal outstanding for Cities, fiscal year 2025. How it is computed: principal outstanding at the fiscal year end, summed over the local governments attributed to the county; computed here from BRB's tables.

How these figures are made

BRB's tables3,319 local governments reported $365.5 billion of principal at the end of fiscal year 2025.
Home county3,319 placed in 252 counties by the first county listed for each. 106 list more than one county ($29.0 billion); every one names a county.
Per resident159 counties with a population on the county government's own row (29,981,417 residents); 95 not reported.

Home county

BRB's County field lists every county an issuer serves and gives no shares. Here an issuer's debt counts in its home county: the first county listed for it that is one of the 254 counties. A listed name that is not a county (such as a river in a river authority's entry) is skipped. Splitting debt equally across the listed counties would be just as arbitrary, so it is not offered. The "Of which multi-county issuers" column shows how much of each county's figure comes from issuers that list more than one county, and each county's page lists the issuers that also serve it.

Denominators

Debt per resident: principal divided by the population on the county government's own row in the same table and fiscal year. For one government type it is debt per county resident, not per resident of those governments.
Debt per student: school districts' principal divided by their average daily attendance, both summed over the districts attributed to the county.
Tax supported debt to taxable value: tax supported principal divided by the county government's taxable value. An approximation: special districts' rolls overlap the county roll.
10-year change: debt per resident now against ten fiscal years earlier, or the earliest year in the tables when that is later.

Not reported means no government of the chosen type in the county reported debt outstanding that year, or the county's population, attendance or taxable value was not reported (a county government with no debt has no row in the table). It is never shown as zero. Counties not reported are not ranked.

Classes: the map's colour classes are drawn from every county's value in every fiscal year in the tables (2016 to 2025) for the chosen measure, type and pledge, and rounded to readable numbers, so a colour means the same amount in every year. The 10-year change uses one diverging scale centred on zero.

Size bands (county population, for "Rank in its size band"): under 10,000; 10,000 to 49,999; 50,000 to 99,999; 100,000 to 499,999; 500,000 and over.

Fiscal years: Texas fiscal years run September 1 to August 31. Local governments report at the end of their own fiscal year, as BRB's tables do.

Sources: Local Issuance Fee By Year; Debt Outstanding By Issuance Local By Year, from BRB's open data. County shapes: U.S. Census Bureau 2025 county boundaries (1:500,000).
