How This Calculator Works
Pennsylvania's average effective property tax rate is 1.35% 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 $270,000, that comes to roughly $3,645 a year, or $304 a month in escrow.
Because home prices differ so much, the yearly bill ranks differently from the rate: Pennsylvania's bill on a typical home is 18th of 51, near the middle. On a $350,000 home it would be about $4,725.
