Mesa is Maricopa County's second-largest city and one of the fastest-growing in the country. Its lower price point relative to Scottsdale — combined with the county's very low property tax rate — makes it among the most affordable large Arizona markets on a per-dollar basis.

Mesa housing market
The 0.64% property tax rate reflects the county-level effective rate for Mesa and is used to calculate your monthly tax escrow above. This rate may differ from the statewide Arizona average — county-level data produces more accurate monthly payment estimates for Mesa buyers. Many Mesa properties also carry HOA fees — the area average is approximately $150/month, which is not included in the calculator above.
