In some states, laws provide for exemptions (typically called homestead exemptions) and/or limits on the percentage increase in tax, which limit the yearly increase in property tax so that owner-occupants are not "taxed out of their homes". Generally, these exemptions and ceilings are available only to property owners who use their property as their principal residence. Homestead exemptions generally cannot be claimed on investment properties and second homes. When a homesteaded property changes ownership, the property tax often rises sharply and the property's sale price may become the basis for new exemptions and limits available to the new owner-occupant.
The difference between the state with the lowest rates—Hawaii—and New Jersey's highest rate is a whopping 2.1 percent, which can come out to a pretty significant property tax bill, particularly on a luxury home.
Some states that impose formidable property tax rates, such as New Hampshire and Texas, give residents a few breaks in other major tax categories. For example, Texas has no state income tax. These states rely heavily on property taxes to make ends meet. On the other side of the equation are states that impose high taxes across the board, such as New Jersey and Illin0is.
Property taxes are not set solely at the state level. Cities, counties and local school boards get involved, so taxes in one area of a state might be higher than those in other areas. Several states offer property tax exemptions for senior citizens, veterans and the disabled.
