How This Calculator Works
Maryland's average effective property tax rate is 1.00% of a home's value each year, the 10th highest of 51 (50 states and D.C.). On the state's typical home, worth about $420,000, that comes to roughly $4,200 a year, or $350 a month in escrow.
Because home prices differ so much, the yearly bill ranks differently from the rate: Maryland's bill on a typical home is the 15th largest of 51, in the top third. On a $350,000 home it would be about $3,500.
Of Maryland's neighbors, Delaware (0.53%), West Virginia (0.54%), the District of Columbia (0.57%) and Virginia (0.74%) have a lower average rate; the table below lists them all.
These are Maryland averages; your county, city and school district set the actual bill.
