Frequently asked questions

Which states have the highest and lowest property tax?
New Jersey, Illinois, and New Hampshire consistently have the highest effective property tax rates (2.0%+ of home value). Hawaii, Alabama, and Colorado have among the lowest (under 0.5%).
What is "effective" property tax rate?
Effective rate = annual property tax owed / home market value. It accounts for assessment ratios and varies by jurisdiction within a state, so use it as an estimate.
How is property tax actually assessed?
Counties and municipalities assess your property each year (or every few years). The assessed value is multiplied by a millage rate to compute the tax bill. Many states cap how fast assessed value can grow even when market value rises.
