It varies. Some tornadoes stay in open fields or only impact trees and so cause no property damage. Weak tornadoes (EF0 and EF1) often cause damage in the tens of thousands of dollars, and on rare occasions in to the millions.

Strong to violent tornadoes (EF2-EF5) may cause damage ranging from the hundreds of thousands of dollars to the tens of millions.

Some of the worst tornadoes have caused damage in the hundreds of millions of dollars, with a handful topping $1 billion.

Why are hurricanes considered more damaging than tornadoes when tornadoes have stronger winds?

They aren't. Tornadoes are more violent than hurricanes. The winds of both hurricanes and tornadoes are driven by the pressure at the center of the storm being lower than that of the surroundings. Tornadoes produce a similar pressure drop to hurricanes, but over a much sorter distance. This means the pressure gradient is steeper, and the air is subjected to a greater force.
