Who Pays the Highest Property Taxes in the U.S.?

Other than the beautiful sunny skies, one of the many enticing reasons people choose to move to Arizona is our favorable property tax rate, all without lacking any amenities.

At 1.15%, Arizona is below the average median property tax rate across the nation, which is 1.31 percent. That means a home owner in Arizona will save over $300 per year on property taxes compared to average for a home4_28_core_logic valued at $200,000, according to an analysis by CoreLogic’s data team.

Illinois has the highest median property tax rate at 2.67 percent. Hawaii, on the other hand, has the lowest at 0.31 percent.

“While higher median tax rates are seen primarily among states in the northeast, a notable exception is Texas, which has a median property tax rate of 2.17 percent,” CoreLogic reports. “Typically, the states with the highest property tax rates, with the exception of Illinois, have multiple levels of tax collection. Conversely, the majority of states with low median tax rates have a single level of collection at the county level. Other than Hawaii, the lowest median property tax rates are primarily in the Rocky Mountain region and southeastern states.”

CoreLogic calculated the median overall property tax rates nationally by state. Researchers took into account all taxing and collection entities. Take a look at the chart to see how your state ranks.  And give me a call when you’re ready to move to Arizona!

Majestic hillside masterpiece, with endless views of the mountains and city lights below of Scottsdale and Carefree! Upon entering this custom home, you are immediately at one with the layout, interior finishes, and amazing views. Perfectly sited on 2.7 acres, blending naturally with the massive boulders, the Sonoran Desert, and offering privacy and views in every direction. The unique crescent shape of this home resulted from an extremely narrow buildable area and the steep incline of Black Mountain. The home was designed & built using sophisticated and expensive commercial building techniques, with natural masonry and steel framing that minimized site disturbance. The foundation is actually integrated with the granite boulders & bedrock that is unique to the East side of Black Mountain. Carefully chosen natural cut stone, color-matched stucco, and patina copper enable the home to truly blend with the boulder-laden landscape. Careful use of eco-friendly sustainable materials such as bamboo wood floors laid over a cork substrate for a durable surface that eliminates any sensory disturbing echo within. Low level VOC paint and LED lighting compliment the many other eco-conscience decisions that went into building this home. As with any well planned and technically difficult project, this one-of-a-kind custom home took numerous years to build, and it would be impossible to build today for this offering price. There will never be another one like it, and it can truly be a legacy home passed through generations!
