Historical Trend: US median property tax rates have increased ~2-3% annually over the past decade. States like NJ, IL, and NH consistently rank highest. Hawaii and Alabama remain the lowest. Many states enacted assessment caps post-2008 to limit annual increases to 2-10%.
Appeal Tips: Gather comparable sales (3-5 similar homes sold within 6 months and 1 mile). Document property defects. File before your county's deadline (typically 30-90 days after notice). Success rates average 30-40% nationally.
