NY Property Tax Question of the Day #31 Which NYC borough actually has the highest property taxes?

I'm putting together some research for homeowners.

A lot of people assume Manhattan always has the highest property taxes.

But property taxes depend on much more than the purchase price.

I'm comparing:

• One-family homes
• Two-family homes
• Condominiums
• The five boroughs

I'm also looking at questions like:

• Do better public schools usually mean higher property taxes?
• Does being near a major university affect taxes?
• Do neighborhoods with lots of rentals have different tax patterns?
• Which borough generally has the highest annual tax bills for houses?
• Which borough is usually the lowest?

I'd love to hear what homeowners have actually experienced.
