Georgia Property Tax Calculator

Georgia has an average effective property tax rate of 0.77%, which ranks #27 among all 50 states and DC. That rate is 16% lower than the national average of 0.92%. The median homeowner pays $2,341 per year on a home worth $303,300.

Property taxes in Georgia are levied locally, so the rate you actually pay depends on your county and taxing district. Across the state's 158 counties, effective rates range from about 0.33% in Fannin County to 1.53% in Stewart County. Select your county in the calculator above to use its local effective rate instead of the statewide average.

Your tax is based on your property's assessed value, not always its full market price. The effective rate used here already reflects median assessment practices, so it gives a realistic estimate. To lower your bill, check whether you qualify for a homestead or other exemption on the Georgia property tax page.
