State Overview

Property Taxes in Georgia

Georgia taxes below the national average

Georgia homeowners pay an effective property tax rate of 0.898%, well below the national median of 1.03%—putting the state among the 20 lowest-tax states in the country. This translates to real savings: the state's median property tax bill of $1,529 is just 57% of the national median of $2,690, even though Georgia's median home value ($180,827) is notably lower than the national average ($281,900).

Wide variation across Georgia's 159 counties

County effective tax rates span from Fannin County's modest 0.349% to Stewart County's steeper 1.711%—a five-fold difference that reshapes what homeowners actually pay. Median property tax bills range from $562 in Wheeler County to $3,847 in Fulton County, revealing significant inequality in the tax burden across the state.

Typical Georgia homeowner pays $1,529 annually

The median Georgia homeowner with a home valued at $180,827 pays approximately $1,529 in annual property taxes. This comparatively modest bill reflects Georgia's lower effective tax rate and makes homeownership more affordable for middle-income families statewide.

Metro Atlanta dominates the high-tax counties

Fulton ($3,847), Forsyth ($3,747), and Gwinnett ($3,381) counties—all anchoring the Atlanta metropolitan area—lead the state in absolute tax bills, driven by higher home values rather than higher rates. Rural and exurban counties like Wheeler ($562), Atkinson ($674), and Appling ($689) impose the lowest tax burdens, reflecting lower property values across less developed regions.

Low-tax state with outsized metro burden

Georgia is a low-tax state overall, with rates and bills well below national averages—a clear advantage for cost-conscious homeowners in rural and suburban areas. However, those moving to high-growth Atlanta suburbs should expect significantly higher property tax bills, even though county rates there remain close to the state average.
