Why do I pay higher taxes than my neighbor?
You may live in a different taxing district than your neighbor. Also, your property may appear similar to your neighbor’s at first glance, but there may be enough differences in land size, square footage of homes, quality or condition of land that will result in value differences between properties.

Also, your neighbor may be eligible for some form of property tax reduction for which you either did not qualify or did not apply.
