FAQ
How is property tax calculated?
Property tax is calculated by multiplying your property's assessed value by the local tax rate (mill rate). The assessed value may differ from market value. Some jurisdictions apply homestead exemptions or other deductions before calculating the tax.
What is the average property tax rate?
The national average effective property tax rate is approximately 1.1%, but it varies widely. States like New Jersey (2.2%), Illinois (2.1%), and Texas (1.7%) have high rates, while Hawaii (0.3%), Alabama (0.4%), and Colorado (0.5%) have some of the lowest.
Can I reduce my property taxes?
You can appeal your property assessment if you believe it is too high. Check for exemptions you may qualify for (homestead, senior, veteran, disability). Some states cap annual assessment increases. Consult your local tax assessor's office for specific options.
