Frequently asked questions
- What is the average property tax rate in Georgia?
- Statewide, Georgia's effective property-tax rate is 0.772% — the state median real-estate taxes ($2,341) divided by the state median home value ($303,300), from the Census ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates. The national figure is about 0.937%. Individual counties vary widely; the table above shows each one.
- Which Georgia county has the highest property taxes?
- Sort the county table by effective rate or by median taxes paid to see the highest and lowest. Effective rate (taxes ÷ home value) and raw dollars paid can rank counties differently, because home values differ so much across the state — both columns are shown.
