Georgia rental market for DSCR investors: rent, taxes and insurance by county
What a rental in Georgia rents for, what it costs to carry, and whether it stays rented, from official data for all 159 counties. Read it before you price a deal here.
Georgia at a glance
What does a rental rent for?
$1,762 a month
HUD's FY2027 2-bedroom Fair Market Rent where most of Georgia's renters live, from $1,002 (Colquitt County) to $1,762 (Jasper County). It is the government figure for a modest 2-bedroom unit, utilities included, not the rent for a house.
What will property taxes cost?
0.77% of value a year
Homeowners in Georgia pay a median $2,341 a year on a median home value of $303,300 (Census ACS 2020–2024). A rental can be taxed at a different rate than an owner's home; the local tax bill is the real number.
What will insurance cost?
$1,430 a year
The median that homeowners with a mortgage in Georgia report paying for homeowners insurance (Census ACS 2020–2024). It is not a landlord quote: a rental policy usually costs more, and flood cover is extra.
Will it stay rented?
6.8% rental vacancy
Share of Georgia's rental homes vacant and for rent (Census ACS 2020–2024), across 1,398,009 renter households. Lower means rentals fill faster.
Are jobs growing?
Employment up 2.2% in a year
Employed residents in August 2026 against a year earlier; unemployment 3.4% (BLS, not seasonally adjusted, so compare the same month a year apart).
Is new supply coming?
61,196 homes permitted in 2025
About 15.0 new homes per 1,000 households; 72% single-family (Census Building Permits Survey). More new homes means more competition for tenants and buyers.
How often does it flood?
13,354 flood claims since 2005
National Flood Insurance Program claims on properties in Georgia since 2005, $366.2 million paid (FEMA). Claims show where water has reached insured buildings; they are not a flood map, so check the FEMA flood zone for the address.
What it means for a DSCR rental in Georgia
A lender's DSCR is the monthly rent divided by the full monthly payment: principal, interest, property taxes, insurance and any HOA dues. Many lenders accept 1.00x; 1.20x leaves a cushion.
Take a home at Georgia's median value of $303,300, bought with 25% down on a 7.5% 30-year loan, with the state's typical tax rate and insurance:
- Principal and interest ($227,475 loan)
- $1,591
- Property taxes
- $195
- Insurance
- $119
- Full monthly payment
- $1,904
- Rent for a 1.20x DSCR
- $2,290 a month
The government 2-bedroom figure where most of Georgia's renters live is $1,762 a month, below the $2,290 that home needs. A house usually rents for more than a 2-bedroom unit, so price the house you are looking at with its own rent. The last column of the table below gives the same figure for each county.
Rules and costs a landlord faces in Georgia
Each line quotes the official source it comes from and the date it was last checked. These are general rules, not legal advice; local rules can add to them.
- How long before you can file to evict for unpaid rent?
3 business days' notice for unpaid rent before an eviction can be filed.
At least three (3) business days before a landlord files dispossessory for the tenant’s failure to pay rent or fees, the landlord is required to give the tenant a written notice to pay the back rent and fees.
Georgia Department of Community Affairs, checked October 18, 2026
- How fast must the deposit come back?
Within 30 days after the tenancy ends.
Within 30 days after your lease is terminated or you have moved out and notified your landlord, the landlord must refund your security deposit.
Georgia Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division, checked October 18, 2026
- What does the state charge to record a purchase?
State tax: $1 for the first $1,000 or fractional part of $1,000 and at the rate of 10 cents for each additional $100 or fractional part of $100.
at the rate of $1 for the first $1,000 or fractional part of $1,000 and at the rate of 10 cents for each additional $100 or fractional part of $100
Georgia Department of Revenue, checked October 18, 2026
- Is a rental taxed like the owner's home?
A rental does not get the owner's homestead benefit.
Generally, a homeowner is entitled to a homestead exemption on their home and land underneath provided the home was owned by the homeowner and was their legal residence as of January 1 of the taxable year.

Where these numbers come from
- 2-bedroom Fair Market Rent
- HUD's FY2027 Fair Market Rents, in effect from October 1, 2026: the rent and utilities of a modest 2-bedroom unit, set for housing vouchers. It is not a house rent. Where HUD publishes by town (New England), the county shows the range. HUD Fair Market Rents
- Property tax, insurance, vacancy and home value
- Census American Community Survey 5-year estimates, 2020–2024. Property tax is the median tax paid divided by the median home value of owner-occupied homes. Insurance is the median that owners with a mortgage report paying, not a landlord quote. Rental vacancy is homes vacant for rent divided by all rental homes. Figures from too few homes are left blank. American Community Survey
- Jobs
- BLS Local Area Unemployment Statistics: employed residents in August 2026 against the same month a year earlier, not seasonally adjusted. BLS LAUS
- Permits
- Census Building Permits Survey: new housing units authorized in 2025, all building sizes. Building Permits Survey
- Flood claims
- FEMA National Flood Insurance Program claims with a loss in 2005 or later, and the net amount paid. Only insured buildings appear. Check a flood zone
These are screening figures for comparing places, not a quote, an appraisal or a loan offer. Georgia total flood payments since 2005: $366.2 million.
