Meanwhile, the average tax on single-family homes rose just +1.8% from $3,719 in 2020 to $3,785 in 2021, the smallest pace in five years. Essentially, the effective tax rate was just +0.9% in 2021, down from 1.1% in 2020.
According to Rick Sharga, ATTOM’s executive vice president of market intelligence, “It’s hardly a surprise that property taxes increased in 2021, a year when home prices across the country rose by +16%. In fact, the real surprise is that the tax increases weren’t higher, which suggests that tax assessments are lagging behind rising property values, and will likely continue to go up in 2022,”

It’s critically important for consumers to factor in taxes, insurance and maintenance when determining whether they’re ready for the financial responsibility of home ownership.”
