Not Ranked
Joe,
When I was working back in the early 80s my state taxes ran around $5 to $7K a year. My property taxes were over $3700 until prop 13 saved me there. But not many people are still under that as so many have moved and bought bigger homes.
When they sent a woman out from Social Security to check on me after I lived and was out of the hospital, she told me that I had paid more in taxes for the four months that I managed to work that year than her yearly salary was. So I can only cringe at what some of the people that are making real money here are paying. However I can't complain about my property taxes now as they had to roll them back then and I don't pay much at all considering what the others around me pay.
