If you've searched "states with no property tax," you're probably hoping for a clean list of places where you can own a home without paying property taxes. We have to start with bad news and good news.

The bad news: that list doesn't exist. Property tax is fundamentally a local tax in the United States, levied by counties, municipalities, and special districts (like school and water districts). Even in states where the state government doesn't impose property tax, your county still does.
