Good to know
What is the property tax rate in Oak Ridge?
At least 2.29%. The median homeowner pays $10,000 or more a year on a $436,100 home. The Census Bureau caps reported taxes at $10,000, so the true median bill and rate are higher (ACS 2020–2024).
Why is my bill different from this estimate?
Your bill depends on your home's assessed value from the municipal tax assessor, the exact taxing units where you live (county, city, school district, special districts) and any exemptions you get. These figures are medians across all owner-occupied homes, not a bill for any address.
How current is this data?
It comes from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey 5-year estimates for 2020–2024, the latest release. Homeowners report the taxes they paid, so the numbers lag current bills by one to two years. We update the site when the Census Bureau publishes new estimates each December.
