Here's where U.S. homeowners pay the most — and least — in property taxes

Rising U.S. real estate prices and higher mortgage rates aren't the only challenges to owning a home these days. Between 2022 and 2023, property taxes shot up as much as 31% in some parts of the country, recent data shows. 

Homeowners saw their property taxes increase an average of 4.1% over that period, according to an analysis of more than 89 million single-family homes, by ATTOM Data Solutions, a provider property data. That translates to a typical tax bill last year of $4,062, up from $3,901 in 2022.

ATTOM CEO Rob Barber attributed the tax increases partly to inflation, which pushed up costs for running local governments and schools, including wages for public employees.
