Are we talking gross rent? If so, a little more than 1 month's rent covers the annual property taxes on our properties.

Mitch, yes I am talking gross rents. That's pretty good. In my area, it can take more than 3 months of gross rent to cover annual tax bill on a SFH.

Wow, that's pretty good. Is that based on some exemptions or that's the rate for a rental property without any exemption?

I'm at about one month's rent. Pretty amazing the variability in the posts. Anywhere from 5% to 20% or more of gross rents. Just another reason to only use the 50% rule as a rough approximation, and to adjust it up or down for your area. In some cases, there is a high tax/mill rate, in others the county just refuses to revalue properties down to where they should be, not wanting to lose revenue.

Portland, Oregon 1.6 mo and my rents are low.

In California, we have Proposition 13, unless of course Governor "Moonbeam" gets his way.

About 2 months rent on average for mine in TX.

Condo in Indianapolis = 1.5 months
Duplex in Indianapolis = 1 month

Wow, hate to dig up old threads, but I thought this was quite interesting.
just over 1/2 a month... $738 a year and $1,300 a month in rent between the two units of the duplex.

What can I say... I love Utah... bought a bigger house and my property tax bill went from $11,000 a year in NJ to $2,400 a year in Utah :)

one month rent = 550
one year taxes = 630
