Housing prices across the U.S. are surging, scrambling the plans of many buyers and dashing others' hopes of owning a home. Another rising cost that homeowners are grappling with? Property taxes.
In some counties around the country, average property tax payments hit record highs last year, according to a report released Thursday by Attom Data Solutions, a property data firm. Property taxes are a major source of revenue for local governments as well as a significant cost for homeowners.
Such taxes are also frequently opaque, making it harder for house-hunters to calculate the impact on their budget, said Rich Sharga, Attom's executive vice president of market intelligence.
