Reviewed by BoringToolsKit · August 26, 2026 · Tax Foundation, Property Taxes on Owner-Occupied Housing by State (2024 data, released 2025); county table covers 3,109 counties/county-equivalents. Full dataset: download the CSV below.
The big picture
Within a state, property tax rates can vary more than the state average suggests: county mill rates, assessment ratios, and exemptions push effective rates from well under 0.5% to above 2.5%. The county table below ranks every county in the dataset by median home value and shows the effective rate — the median taxes paid divided by the median home value — so you can compare where you live (or want to live) against the national picture.
