How This Calculator Works
This estimator multiplies your entered home value by the average effective property tax rate for the selected state. Effective tax rates are calculated from Census Bureau American Community Survey data as median property taxes paid divided by median home values.
Important: Actual property taxes vary significantly within each state. Tax rates differ by county, city, and school district. This estimate uses the state-level average and should be treated as a rough guideline. For precise figures, check with your county assessor's office.
Factors that affect your actual property tax include: local millage rates, homestead exemptions, assessment ratios, special district levies, and property classification.
