Market Update
WalletHub conducted an analysis on which states have the highest and lowest property taxes. Surprisingly, they found Hawaii has the lowest property taxes out of all 50 states at an average of $432, significantly lower than the average American household property tax of $2,089. New Jersey pays the highest property taxes at an average of $3,971.
How can a state such as Hawaii with such a high cost of living have property taxes more than 3 times less than the national average? Hawaii is an unusual circumstance because of our large tourism industry, much of our tax revenue comes in the form of sales and excise tax.
Here are the top 10 states with the lowest property taxes from lowest to highest:
- Hawaii: $482
- Alabama: $752
- Louisiana: $832
- Delaware: $917
- South Carolina: $984
- District of Columbia: $1,001
- West Virginia: $1,015
- Arkansas: $1,068
- Wyoming: $1,069
- Colorado: $1,089
Have a wonderful week,

P.S. - Tomorrow is April 15, don't forget to do your taxes.
