Southern homeowners pay some of the lowest property taxes in the country, according to data by LendingTree.

The personal finance website analyzed the median property taxes residents paid in the 50 largest metropolitan areas between 2019 and 2021. The research found that residents of Birmingham, Alabama; New Orleans; and Memphis, Tennessee, on average pay less than $2,000 in annual property taxes, whether or not the home has a mortgage. On the other hand, owners in cities where real estate is the most expensive, such as New York; San Jose, California; and San Francisco pay more than $7,000 a year.

Overall, property taxes rose 3.6% on single-family homes in 2022, with the average tax on a single-family home increasing by $3,901, according to real estate data provider ATTOM.
