Effective rates are computed as median property tax paid divided by median home value for each state, sourced from US Census Bureau data. Your estimated tax is home value multiplied by the effective rate for the selected state.
The effective rate is the median annual property tax paid divided by the median home value in that state. It gives a percentage that reflects the real-world tax burden.
New Jersey has the highest effective rate in the US due to heavy reliance on property taxes to fund local schools and municipalities, combined with high home values.
The effective rates reflect median taxes actually paid, which factor in homestead exemptions and other common deductions.
Estimates use state-level effective rates and median home values. Your actual tax may differ based on local millage rates, assessments, and exemptions.
All 50 states levy some form of property tax, but rates and effective burdens vary significantly. Hawaii has the lowest effective rate at approximately 0.32%.
