Which Cities In U.S. Have Lowest Property Tax Rates?

Yesterday, I wrote about Missouri having the 27th lowest effective property tax rate of the 50 states, so today I decided to look at property tax rates for the largest MSA’s around the country.  Included in my list are the 219 MSA’s with a population of 200,000 or more.  As the table below shows, at the top of the list, with the lowest effective real property tax rate of the MSA’s is Laredo, Texas with an effective property tax rate of just 0.35%.  The states of Alabama and Colorado both have 3 MSA’s on the list of the 10 MSA’s with the lowest property tax rate.
