State Overview
Property Taxes in New York
New York taxes property nearly twice the national average
New York's effective property tax rate of 2.046% is nearly double the national median of 1.03%, making it a notably high-tax state for homeowners. This rate places New York among the highest-taxing states in the nation, reflecting the state's reliance on property taxes to fund schools and local services.
Tax rates vary dramatically across New York counties
Kings County in Brooklyn has the state's lowest effective rate at 0.688%, while Orleans County in Western New York reaches 2.996%—more than four times higher. This 2.3-point spread reveals stark regional inequality in how property taxes are applied, driven by differences in assessment practices and local funding needs.
A typical New York homeowner pays $4,709 annually
With a median home value of $267,155, the average New York homeowner pays $4,709 per year in property taxes—75% more than the national median of $2,690. This burden is particularly steep for owners of median-priced homes, who spend significantly more on taxes than peers nationwide.
Suburban counties hit homeowners hardest
Nassau County on Long Island leads the state with a median tax bill of $10,001, tied with Putnam County in the Hudson Valley and New York County (Manhattan), despite far lower home values. Meanwhile, rural upstate counties like Hamilton and Franklin keep bills under $2,500, reflecting lower property values and less urbanized tax bases.
New York is decidedly high-tax, with winners and losers
New York homeowners face property tax bills nearly twice the national average, making it a high-tax state for residential property. The burden falls heaviest on suburban and urban counties—particularly Long Island and the Hudson Valley—while rural upstate residents enjoy substantially lower annual tax bills.
