Effective Residential Property Tax Rate
Effective Property Tax Rate on a Residential Property
What does this mean?
This rate is the tax bill on individual homesteads. These properties are often given preferential treatment in the local tax code to incentivize private ownership.
Why does this matter?
Competitive residential taxes remain a commonly used cost of living indicator and thus remains a decision-making criterion for families contemplating a work related relocation, retirees seeking a new state to reside, or existing retirees and/or military completing their tours who want to remain in state.
