New York-Area Homeowners Paid Highest Property Taxes Last Year
(Bloomberg) -- When it comes to property-tax pain, New York is hard to beat.
Owners of single-family houses in the city and surrounding suburbs paid an average of $9,700 last year, topping a ranking by Attom Data Solutions of levies in U.S. metropolitan areas with populations of 2 million or more. San Francisco and Boston followed.
Among counties, New York’s Westchester -- home to the wealthy towns of Scarsdale and Bronxville -- is still No. 1, with an average bill of $17,392. That’s up from $17,179 in the previous year and well above the new $10,000 limit on federal deductions for state and local levies.
Following were neighboring Rockland County ($12,925) and Marin County in Northern California ($12,242).
