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!

This home is an architectural gem with a truly timeless feel, on the market for the first time since winning the Arizona Home of the Year / Honor Award in 2001. Designed by the renowned architect Gordon Rogers, this estate embodies the best of organic contemporary architecture. This is a rare opportunity to own a masterpiece in the exclusive, guard-gated community of Glenn Moor at Troon Village. Known for creating homes that merge seamlessly with their natural surroundings, Rogers' vision is evident throughout this property, which has been thoughtfully updated by its current owners while preserving its original design integrity. The estate's layout is divided by a natural arroyo, which created the perfect design opportunity to connect the guest house on one side with the main... residence on the other, for an organic flow. The dramatic approach takes guests up broad concrete steps and across a bridge, culminating in a striking 9-foot-wide pivoting entry doora bold first impression. The main house offers 6,030 square feet of meticulously crafted living space, with an additional 1,030 square feet in the detached guest house, bringing the total to 7,060 square feet. Inside, the great room stuns with a soaring ceiling with beautiful tongue and groove wood, supported by four concrete columns and two sculptural steel fins, and is framed by high clerestory glass walls that capture panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. The floating roof, with its cantilevered ends, mirrors the curves of the land and the infinity-edge pool, both of which reflect the natural topography. Hand selected from the quarry, the Utah sandstone found throughout the home blends harmoniously with the desert landscape. The same stone is used for both walls and floors, creating a seamless flow from the interior to the outdoor spaces. A real once-in-a-lifetime estate that truly encompasses architectural feats known only to select residences. Offering a perfect blend of cutting-edge architecture, natural beauty, and modern upgrades, this home is designed for the discerning buyer seeking a uniqueness rarely made available. Most furnishings and accessories available by separate bill of sale.
