Here's where homeowners pay the most — and least — in property taxes
Homeowners in the South are paying some of the lowest property taxes in the nation, according to data from LendingTree.
The personal finance website analyzed the median property taxes residents pay in the 50 largest metropolitan areas between 2019 and 2021. The research found that residents in Birmingham, Alabama; New Orleans; and Memphis, Tennessee, pay less than $2,000 in annual property taxes on average, whether the home has a mortgage or not. By contrast, homeowners in cities with the priciest real estate, such as New York; San Jose, California; and San Francisco pay upwards of $7,000 a year.
Overall, property taxes rose 3.6% on single family homes in 2022, with the average tax on a single family home rising $3,901, according to real estate data provider ATTOM.
