Understanding Property Tax Rates

Property taxes are the single largest source of revenue for local governments. Rates vary dramatically between states and even between neighboring counties. The effective tax rate measures what homeowners actually pay as a percentage of their home's market value.

Texas has no state income tax but relies heavily on property taxes, resulting in rates well above the national median. California's Proposition 13 caps rate increases, keeping effective rates lower despite high home values.

Stop overpaying on property taxes

30-60% of properties are over-assessed, but only 5% of homeowners challenge their bill. TaxDrop makes it easy to fight back. No upfront cost. No fee if we save you less than $500.
