The median property in the US saw its property tax bill grow by 2.8% from 2023 to 2024 as over 73% of properties had tax increases during that time.

In 2024, the median tax bill in the US was $3,500, which was largely driven by home price appreciation. 

...

However, Realtor.com senior economist Joel Berner said many homeowners may not realize they can protest their home’s value assessment.

In fact, over 40% of properties nationwide could save at least $100 by protesting the assessed value, with a median savings of over $500, according to Berner. 

Such taxes have become a flashpoint among politicians, with some even calling for their complete elimination.

One Pennsylvania lawmaker argued that homeowners shouldn’t have to “pay rent” to the government. (wishful thinking)
