How This Calculator Works

Tennessee's average effective property tax rate is 0.55% of a home's value each year, 21st of 51, near the middle. On the state's typical home, worth about $320,000, that comes to roughly $1,760 a year, or $147 a month in escrow.

Because home prices differ so much, the yearly bill ranks differently from the rate: Tennessee's bill on a typical home is 9th from the bottom of 51, among the lowest. On a $350,000 home it would be about $1,925.

Of Tennessee's neighbors, Alabama (0.39%) has a lower average rate; the table below lists them all.

These are Tennessee averages; your county, city and school district set the actual bill.
