Property taxes are one of the most significant expenses facing homeowners.
Taxes are intended to finance local government services such as infrastructure, schools and other essential systems.
The specific fee is calculated based on the value of a home and its location, although the amount may change each basic year in local tax laws and the value of the home.
Typically, if one’s home is more valuable, they will owe more property taxes. Home values are also reassessed as often as every year, which means that property tax bills can change.
The case that many homeowners face is that property taxes are increasing in second place to increase home values and changes in local tax fees, said the top economist of Realtor.com in the April report.
The average property in the US saw its property tax bill increased by 2.8% from 2023 to 2024 as over 73% of properties had tax increases during that time.
In 2024, the average tax invoice at the US was $ 3,500, which was largely directed at home price rating.
However, Berner said that many homeowners may not understand that they could protest that the value of their home value.
In fact, over 40% of properties across the country can save at least $ 100 by protesting the estimated value, with an average savings of over $ 500, according to Berner.
Such taxes have become a stroke point among politicians, with some even demanding their full elimination.
A Pennsylvania lawmaker argued that homeowners should not “pay rent” for the government.
Recently, Governor Ron Desantis doubled in his intention to eliminate property taxes in Florida, an act that would make it the only state in the country without state income or property tax.
