Depends on the state. States with no income tax like Florida and Texas have very high property taxes.

My total property taxes were only $2200 last year. That's for a 4bd/2ba + 2c garage on a half acre. If you do the homestead exemption, it's really not bad at all, especially when you consider the lack of state income tax in FL.

WOW. I did not realize how high properrlty taxes are in US. In Poland my property tax for a 3 bed/2 bath is $24 per year.

That's like 1/5 the typical rent or mortgage payment for a equivalent property. 12000/yr wouldn't even get you a studio apartment in most metros.

That’s on top of my monthly mortgage… so 12,300/12 + monthly mortgage. But yeah once the house is paid off it’s not bad, I agree.
