Why it varies

The big picture

The effective property tax rate is what homeowners actually pay as a share of home value — the statutory mill rate divided by the assessment ratio. Effective rates range from under 0.3% in Hawaii to near 2% in New Jersey and Illinois. Use the property tax calculator to estimate an annual bill from your home's value and local rate, and remember that within a state, county and city rates can differ from the average.
