How This Calculator Works
Illinois's average effective property tax rate is 2.08% of a home's value each year, the highest in the country. On the state's typical home, worth about $265,000, that comes to roughly $5,512 a year, or $459 a month in escrow.
Because home prices differ so much, the yearly bill ranks differently from the rate: Illinois's bill on a typical home is the 9th largest of 51 (50 states and D.C.). On a $350,000 home it would be about $7,280.
Of Illinois's neighbors, Indiana (0.77%), Kentucky (0.77%), Missouri (0.88%), Iowa (1.43%) and Wisconsin (1.51%) have a lower average rate; the table below lists them all.
