Property Taxes in New York Communities2015

ew Yorkers pay some of the highest property taxes in the

nation. However, property tax burdens within the Empire State
differ widely.

Property owners outside New York City pay taxes to at least three
different jurisdictionscounties, towns or cities, and school districts.
Villages and special districts can also levy separate taxes. As a result,
multiple combinations of property tax bills can be found in a single
town.
This report, based on data collected annually by the Office of the
State Comptroller, makes it possible to easily compare taxes in
almost every locality1 in New York State. Focusing on the effective
tax rate allows taxpayers and government officials to establish
performance goals and benchmarks for their communities.

A taxpayers all-in
property tax bill is
often a key factor in
where people choose
to live and where
businesses choose to
locate.

The all-in property tax bill is often a key factor in

locational decisions by individuals and businesses. In
addition, the tax data point to an inverse relationship
between effective tax rates and property values, with
high effective rates often correlating to low median
home values.

This report uses the most recent data reported to the

state Comptroller, reflecting taxes levied during each
local governments 2015 fiscal year. The tables on the
following pages list the top and bottom 20 effective
property tax rates, by region, throughout New York, and the top and
bottom 20 tax bills across each region based on a localitys effective
property tax rate and median home value.

Complete statewide data can be searched and compared using the

Empire Centers online Property Tax Calculator at
SeeThroughNY.net/Benchmarking.

1 Nassau County and New York City impose different tax rates on different classes of property and are
excluded from calculations and rankings. In addition, taxes levied by independently governed fire districts
are not included.
