The 0.62% property tax rate reflects the county-level effective rate for Knoxville and is used to calculate your monthly tax escrow above. This rate may differ from the statewide Tennessee average — county-level data produces more accurate monthly payment estimates for Knoxville buyers. Many Knoxville properties also carry HOA fees — the area average is approximately $100/month, which is not included in the calculator above.
