The average Georgia homeowner pays less in property taxes than the national average, according to an analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data conducted by the Tax Foundation.
The Washington, D.C.-based advocacy group ranked Georgia 30th in the nation for its tax burden relative to home value. The median property tax payment in the state last year was $830 for every $100,000 in home value, compared with $1,040 nationwide.
Ranked by property tax payments regardless of home value, Georgia is further down the list. The median annual property tax payment in the Peach State last year was $1,346, 33rd in the nation and below the national average of $1,917.
