Property taxes can substantially impact how much you’re paying for your home and dig into your profits as a real estate investor. They also vary widely from state to state, with Hawaii’s average property tax rate at around 0.29% and New Jersey’s averaging approximately 2.46%. 

While there’s only a 2.17% difference between the two, that 2.17% equates to a lot of money. Let’s say you own two homes: one in Hawaii and one in New Jersey, and they both have an assessed value of $500,000. If you’re paying the average property tax rates for each state, you’ll owe $1,450 in Hawaii and $14,546 in New Jersey. That’s a $13,096 difference!

While there are no states without property taxes in 2023, many states have low property taxes. In this article, we’ll discuss what property taxes are, how they’re calculated, and list the states with the lowest property taxes.
