EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14\/CBS4) \u2014 Despite a slowdown in home price growth, property tax bills continue to climb across much of the U.S. as assessments catch up to the sharp appreciation of the early 2020s, according to a new analysis by Construction Coverage. <\/a><\/p>\n

The report reveals that property taxes are the fastest-growing source of state and local revenue, with a $96 billion increase from 2022 to 2024, outpacing growth in sales and corporate income taxes.<\/p>\n

In El Paso, Texas, homeowners pay a median of $3,677 in property taxes annually, with an effective property tax rate of 1.592% for owner-occupied homes. <\/p>\n

This places El Paso 53rd out of approximately 650 cities analyzed for effective property tax rates, according to the report. <\/p>\n

Nationally, property taxes continue to rise even as the housing market cools. <\/p>\n

While home prices have slowed and now trail general inflation, property tax bills in many areas are still climbing. This is due to tax assessments lagging behind real-time market data, causing local governments to catch up to the massive value spikes of the early 2020s.<\/p>\n

To mitigate the impact of rising property taxes, 18 states, including California, Florida, and New York, along with the District of Columbia, have implemented assessment limits that cap annual increases in a property’s assessed value. <\/p>\n

These measures aim to protect homeowners from runaway tax increases but also contribute to disparities in property tax burdens across the nation.<\/p>\n

The full report by Construction Coverage<\/a> provides detailed breakdowns of effective property tax rates and median property taxes paid for owner-occupied homes at the state, county, and city levels.<\/p>\n
