How property tax works in New York

The effective rate

New York's median homeowner pays $6,706 on a $470,900 home — 1.42% effective (ACS 2025). Nominal rates mislead across states (assessment ratios differ); the effective rate is the honest comparator. Your parcel's bill follows its own assessment and the overlapping local levies.

New York's defining feature

Property tax cap: local government and school district (outside NYC) levy growth limited to the lesser of 2% or inflation (2% for 2026), overridable by 60% vote - a levy limit, not a cap on individual bills, which may rise more than 2%.

Source: state source in the research file (see hub).

What a pilot covers

This family is the pilot the plan called for: all 51 state pages plus the 25 most populous counties — not thousands of county pages with rates nobody verified. County figures here are the same ACS medians at county level.

County assessors publish parcel-level figures.

Frequently asked questions

Why doesn't my bill match?

Assessments lag markets, exemptions differ (senior, veteran, disability), and local levies stack differently street by street. The effective-rate model gives the typical bill for the value, not your parcel's bill.

Which state has the highest property taxes?

By effective rate, Illinois (1.92%) and New Jersey (1.82%); by median dollars, high-value states like New Jersey ($9,648) and California ($5,537) — the hub table shows both lenses.
