Barring floods and asbestos, property taxes are the highest cost of homeownership after a mortgage — and taxes never end.
In 2013, the median U.S. property tax bill was $2,132, according to a Zillow analysis that used the most recent data available.
That’s a whole lot less than residents paid in Westchester County, NY, where the median tax bill was $13,842. In Tunica County, MS, the median tax bill was $216.
