How This Calculator Works
Iowa's average effective property tax rate is 1.43% of a home's value each year, the 4th highest of 51 (50 states and D.C.). On the state's typical home, worth about $215,000, that comes to roughly $3,075 a year, or $256 a month in escrow.
Because home prices differ so much, the yearly bill ranks differently from the rate: Iowa's bill on a typical home is 26th of 51, near the middle. On a $350,000 home it would be about $5,005.
Of Iowa's neighbors, Missouri (0.88%), Minnesota (1.05%) and South Dakota (1.08%) have a lower average rate; the table below lists them all.
