Hilary's Take

Knox County's effective property tax rate runs roughly 0.7–1.1% of assessed value, and West Knox homes are assessed at 100% of appraised value — so factor that in when you set your tax escrow. East Tennessee homeowners insurance typically runs $1,200–$1,800 a year for a median-priced home.
