How This Calculator Works
Kentucky's average effective property tax rate is 0.77% of a home's value each year, the 15th highest of 51, in the top third. On the state's typical home, worth about $210,000, that comes to roughly $1,617 a year, or $135 a month in escrow.
Because home prices differ so much, the yearly bill ranks differently from the rate: Kentucky's bill on a typical home is 7th from the bottom of 51, among the lowest. On a $350,000 home it would be about $2,695.
Of Kentucky's neighbors, West Virginia (0.54%), Tennessee (0.55%) and Virginia (0.74%) have a lower average rate; the table below lists them all.
These are Kentucky averages; your county, city and school district set the actual bill.
