Illinois and New Jersey recorded the highest effective property tax rates on single-family homes in 2024, of 1.87 percent and 1.59 percent, respectively.
That’s according to a new report from data provider Attom Data. Rounding out the top five highest tax rates were: Connecticut (1.48 percent), Nebraska (1.32 percent) and Ohio (1.31 percent). Attom noted that New York was excluded from their analysis because of limited data.
The states with the lowest effective tax rates on single-family residences were: Hawaii (0.33 percent), Idaho, Arizona and Alabama (all at 0.41 percent). Delaware came in at 0.43 percent.
On average, U.S. property taxes on single-family homes were $4,172 in 2024 – a 2.7 percent increase from 2023, according to the report.
Attom’s report also found that this increase was smaller than the 4.1 percent increase from 2022 to 2023.
Here are the U.S. counties (with at least 10,000+ single-family homes and populations of 100,000+) with the highest effective property tax rates:
