Do retirees have to pay property taxes?

  Yes, but usually receive a discount for being seniors. That’s why I said low cost of living. Tennessee is nice.

    And a lot of places freeze your property tax at 65, so you never have to pay more.

      A lot as in only 6 of the 50 states? *http://www.ncsl.org/research/fiscal-policy/state-property-tax-freezes-and-assessment-freezes.aspx http://www.ncsl.org/research/fiscal-policy/state-property-ta...

        Most property tax is local not state. I don't have the percentage breakdown, but I have encountered this multiple times within my family (anecdotal I know). It's quite possible that this percent is not a majority. Plus, your link is more like ~14/50 states if you're only considering lower income folks.
