  • 10 Lowest Property Taxed States
    Almost 70% of United States residents own at least 1 home. And all of them pay property tax. Nobody is immune from the taxman when it comes to property. Sure maybe one of your homes is a rental and you have figured that tax into the rent, whatever, it is still getting paid.
    The last video we did was on states that have the highest property tax, today we look at the other side and go over the lowest property taxes in the United States. I promise most of you will be surprised.
    Some of these states wouldn't be considered the best states in the US, but with taxes this low, they might move up this list a little.
    If you are thinking about relocating, this is something you should know.

      Tax code changes taught me to you can build resilience into my portfolio. Diversification is key! My set manager helped me spread my investments across different asset classes like stocks, bonds, and real estate so that a positive tax code change here can help minimize the impact of a negative tax code change.

      I agree. From my experience working with a financial manager, I currently have ($2million) in a well-diversified portfolio that has experienced exponential growth from when i started. It's not only about having money to invest in stocks, but you also need to be knowledgeable, persistent, and have strong hands to back it up.

      Please correct me if I’m wrong…did some simple math. If the .4 or “0.004” tax rate is correct in your county, your 36 acres are worth $12,000 (in the county/state eyes)??? That would mean that each acre you purchased would average out to around $333.00? Three hundred and thirty-three dollars? Please, tell me you are an honest person. And please share with me which county/town you are near. Thank you.

    You also have to look at income tax rates, some of these low property tax states have higher than average income tax rates, like Hawaii has high income tax rates, as well as high utility rates but lowest home owner's insurance rates.....so you gotta look at the whole package so see if there's actual savings.

      Delaware (number 5) is pretty interesting. Income tax rate is pretty high, but wages and cost of living are highish, property tax is low, and there is no sales tax. The state also taxes homes at deed transfer. This still worked out to be much cheaper for me vs. PA with its flat income tax, but it would be the other way around if I made over 250k gross W2 income. They always have a way to get you.

I'm in No. VA right now, in the historic center of Leesburg in Loudoun County, property tax is high but only because due to location the value of my house is high, property tax rates though are not bad, income tax is average, utilities and insurance low and I like VA...probably will stay in VA but move to a lower cost area, looking at some historic towns in the Shenandoah area.

      I live in Alabama, so I compare the cost of utilities and water to where I live in north Alabama is cheaper to live in South Tennessee than in North Alabama when it calls cost-of-living. Still, the sales tax is relatively higher than North Alabama's 5% higher, and the property tax in Tennessee is higher than in Alabama. Still, Tennessee has more benefits of living in it, and the cost of living is low, so it makes it very easy to be surprised it's not on this list because it doesn't have the cost of living in it. Me and the cost of living, like for gasoline stuff and gas, can be higher than Alabama's, but at times, it can be lower.

    Hawaii also gives progressively large discounts for seniors, the older you are, the bigger the homeowner's exemption and therefore the lower the property tax. Like Nevada, they generate tax revenue from tourism, allowing lower taxes for their residents. The cost of living overall is high there, in addition to high housing costs, most food and goods are imported from the mainland and there cost more.

      It is called Prop 13. The tax rate is a little over 1%. However, the great thing is that is largely based on how much you bought your house for. Then then only increase the tax bill about 1%/year. So, for a 600,000 home year 1 property tax is 6,000, year 2 can go to 6060, year 3 to 6120, .... Meanwhile, the market price of the house can go much faster. The idea is to ensure people do not get priced out of their homes due to rising property taxes, especially in their old age. And this makes sense since your neighbor sold their house for a bundle put no money in your pocket. There have been some additional fees added and some places have this Mello/Rose adder that was supposed to be short term but has become permanent. Avoid buying in those areas if you can.

Our 1st year property taxes, $1050/yr.

    Averages are interesting, but it isn't quite this simple. At least here in Florida property taxes are not set by the state, they are set by local (county, city) governments. They range from 0.41% to 1.24% at the county level. Also, we have several exemptions. For example, the homestead exemption that exempts the first $50K of assessed value for primary residence. Other exemptions are for low income seniors, widow(er)s, legally blind, disabled veterans and permanently disabled. Also, property tax annual increases are limited to a max of 3% regardless of increase of assessed value. So if someone buys my neighbor's house to rent it out, they would pay more than twice what I pay with the same assessed value.
