(The Center Square) – Georgia ranks 22nd on the Tax Foundation’s annual State Tax Competitiveness Index, with property taxes receiving the lowest marks.

Georgia ranks higher than all of its neighbors except Florida, with the highest property taxes paid as a percentage of owner-occupied housing value at 0.77% in 2023, an increase from 0.69% in 2022, according to the Tax Foundation.
