Spot check, here's a ~1M apartment in NYC, vs a ~1M house in New Hampshire:

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/491-Marcy-St-Portsmouth-N...

Property taxes on the NYC place are estimated by Zillow at 715/month, while NH place is 1445/month. NH has no income tax.

So, I made a comment that it was in the top 10. Then you listed one that was dramatically higher. While I agree that NY doesn't compete for the top spot; your example in no way invalidates my point.

NH is uniquely tilted towards real estate property taxes because it has no income and no broad sales tax.
