U.S. Property Tax by State and County: Effective Rates, Median Home Values and Taxes (ACS 2020-2024)
Description
Effective property tax rates, median home values, median property taxes paid, median household income and FHFA conforming loan limits for 51 states (including DC) and 3,144 counties, compiled from the American Community Survey 2020-2024 (5-year) and FHFA 2026 limits. The effective rate is median real estate tax paid divided by median home value. Includes a data dictionary, method notes and known limits. Two files: counties.csv and states.csv. An interactive version with state and county pages is at https://totalmonthly.com/property-tax-by-state/ . The same dataset is also deposited at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23100375 and https://osf.io/g5ncd . Limits: ACS 5-year estimates carry sampling error, larger for small counties, and the rate is a county-level average, not the rate on a specific home.
