ATTOM Data Solutions Releases 2020 Property Tax Analysis

Home Latest News
April 9, 2021
Reading Time: 3 mins read

ATTOM Data Solutions recently released its 2020 property tax analysis for almost 87 million U.S. single family homes, which shows that $323 billion in property taxes were levied on single-family homes in 2020, up 5.4% from $306.4 billion in 2019. The average tax on single-family homes in the U.S. in 2020 was $3,719—resulting in an effective tax rate of 1.1%.

The average property tax of $3,719 for a single-family home in 2020 was up 4.4% from $3,561 in 2019 while the effective property tax rate of 1.1% in 2020 was down slightly from 1.14% in 2019.

The report analyzed property tax data collected from county tax assessor offices nationwide at the state, metro and county levels along with estimated market values of single-family homes calculated using an automated valuation model (AVM). The effective tax rate was the average annual property tax expressed as a percentage of the average estimated market value of homes in each geographic area.

“Homeowners across the United States in 2020 got hit with the largest average property tax hike in the last four years, a sign that the cost of running local governments and public-school systems rose well past the rate of inflation. The increase was twice what it was in 2019,” said Todd Teta, chief product officer for ATTOM Data Solutions. “Fortunately for recent home buyers, they have mortgages with super-low interest rates that somewhat contain the cost of home ownership. But the latest tax numbers speak loud and clear about the continuing pressure on both recent and longtime homeowners to support the rising cost of public services.”

States with the highest effective property tax rates in 2020 remained New Jersey (2.2%), Illinois (2.18%), Texas (2.15%), Vermont (1.97%) and Connecticut (1.92%).

Other states in the top 10 for highest effective property tax rates also were the same as in 2019: New Hampshire (1.86%), New York (1.68%), Pennsylvania (1.64%), Ohio (1.62%) and Nebraska (1.53%).

The lowest effective tax rates in 2020 were in Hawaii (0.37%), Alabama (0.44%), West Virginia (0.51%), Colorado (0.54%) and Utah (0.54%).

Other states in the top 10 for lowest effective property tax rates were Tennessee (0.59%), Nevada (0.6%), Idaho (0.61%), Arizona (0.62%) and Wyoming (0.63%).

New Jersey had the highest average property tax on single-family homes, $9,196. That was more than 10 times over than the average tax of $841 in Alabama, the state with the lowest average levy.

Others states in the top five were Connecticut ($7,395), New York ($6,628), New Hampshire ($6,596) and Massachusetts ($6,514).

Others in the bottom five were West Virginia ($849), Arkansas ($1,147), Tennessee ($1,202) and Mississippi ($1,241).

Among 220 metropolitan statistical areas around the country with a population of at least 200,000 in 2020, 12 of the top 20 effective tax rates were in the Northeast.

Those with the highest effective property tax rates in 2020 were Syracuse, New York (2.83%); Trenton, New Jersey (2.69%); Binghamton, New York (2.67%); El Paso, Texas (2.66%) and Rockford, Illinois (2.62%).

The highest rates among metro areas with a population of at least 1 million in 2020 were in Rochester, New York (2.46%); Houston, Texas (2.44%); Hartford, Connecticut (2.18%); Chicago, Illinois (2.15%) and Dallas, Texas (2.13%).

The lowest rates in 2020 were in Honolulu, Hawaii (0.36%); Daphne-Fairhope, Alabama (0.37%); Montgomery, Alabama (0.38%); Tuscaloosa, Alabama (0.39%) and Colorado Springs, Colorado (0.42%).

The lowest rates among metro areas with a population of at least 1 million in 2020 were in Nashville Tennessee (0.53%); Salt Lake City, Utah (0.58%); Birmingham, Alabama (0.58%); Phoenix, Arizona (0.58%) and Denver, Colorado (0.6%).

Among the 220 metropolitan statistical areas analyzed in the report, 120 (55%) posted an increase in average property taxes from 2019 to 2020 that was above the national figure of 4.41 %. They included Salt Lake City, Utah (up 11.4%); San Francisco, California (up 11.1%); San Jose, California (up 10.8%); Seattle, Washington (up 10.3%) and Atlanta, Georgia (up 10.2%).

Other major markets posting an increase in average property taxes that was above the national average included San Diego, California (up 10.2%); Tampa, Florida (up 10%); Denver, Colorado (up 9.9%); Raleigh, North Carolina (up 9.7%) and Columbus, Ohio (up 9.1%).

Among 1,453 U.S. counties with at least 10,000 single family homes in 2020 and sufficient data to analyze, 16 had an average single-family-home tax of more than $10,000, including 12 in the New York City metro area. The top five were Rockland County, New York ($13,931); Marin County, California (outside San Francisco) ($13,257); Essex County, New Jersey ($12,698); Nassau County, New York ($12,386) and Bergen County, New Jersey ($12,348).
