The 1.07% property tax rate reflects the county-level effective rate for Augusta and is used to calculate your monthly tax escrow above. This rate may differ from the statewide Georgia average — county-level data produces more accurate monthly payment estimates for Augusta buyers. Many Augusta properties also carry HOA fees — the area average is approximately $50/month, which is not included in the calculator above.
