The median home value of $243,800 is likewise far higher than Tennessee's $161,600 and the national $173,750, reflecting strong demand in a county near the Smoky Mountains.
Property taxes are comparatively light. The median property tax rate of 0.51% is just under the state's 0.52% and well below the national 0.74%. Because home values are high, the dollar amount owners pay can still be meaningful, but the rate itself is low.

Renter-occupied housing accounts for 24.96% of occupied homes, higher than the state's 21.85% and the national 21.81%, which suggests a sizable rental market alongside owner-occupied homes. Overall, Blount County combines high housing costs with strong incomes, low tax rates, and low unemployment.
