If you’re new to Austin, the property tax rate can be an adjustment. While it is true we don’t have state income tax, we do have higher than average property taxes, usually 1.6-3.4% of the assessed value. With this much of a swing, the property tax rate can make a huge difference to your monthly payment. If you’re looking to keep property taxes as low as you can, here is a list of Austin neighborhoods in a variety of price ranges with the lowest property tax rates. You’ll also find some additional info about each neighborhood, a link to the neighborhood guide where you can learn more and list of homes for sale.

Property Taxes are a Percentage of Assessed Value
Keep in mind, property taxes are a percentage of the assessed value of your home. If you have a low tax rate and a more expensive home, you’ll pay more than someone who lives in a neighborhood with a high tax rate in a less expensive house. If you’re looking for the absolute lowest possible tax liability, choose the least expensive home in a neighborhood with the lowest tax rate.
