Property taxes are charged by the municipality where a home is located, based on the home’s value. These taxes fund local services such as schools, infrastructure, and public safety. The amount you pay is determined by the assessed value of your property and the local tax rate. Property taxes are an ongoing expense for homeowners and can vary significantly depending on the location and value of the property.
