Data Story
About Property Taxes in Hickman County, Kentucky
Hickman County keeps taxes minimal
Hickman County's 0.819% effective rate lies near the national average, but its median property tax of just $756 is barely 28% of the national median of $2,690. The county's low median home value of $92,300—among the state's lowest—explains this dramatic difference.
Above-average rate, below-average taxes
Although Hickman's 0.819% effective rate exceeds Kentucky's state average of 0.719%, the county's median property tax of $756 falls well below the state median of $1,093. This paradox reflects Hickman's exceptionally low home values—the county's median is the second-lowest among these eight profiled.
Lower tax bills despite high rate
Hickman's 0.819% rate ranks among the region's higher rates, yet its $756 median property tax is far lower than neighboring Henry County ($1,489) and Henderson County ($1,455) because homes here are worth substantially less.
Lowest tax bill in this comparison
A median Hickman County home at $92,300 generates just $756 in annual property tax—the lowest figure among these eight counties. With a mortgage, homeowners pay $989 annually; without one, they pay only $616.
Verify your assessment even at low rates
Even in a low-income county like Hickman, overassessment occurs and appeals are free to file. If your home's assessed value seems out of step with comparable local properties, contact the county assessor about a formal reassessment.
