The millage rate is calculated by considering the assessed value of the property and the tax rate set by the county.

For those considering purchasing a property in Tennessee, it is good to know that the state has some of the lowest property taxes in the country. Tennessee's average effective property tax rate is just 0.64%, compared to the national average of 1.08%.

Williamson County also has high property taxes, with an effective rate of 0.55%, due to high home values in the county.
