Single-family home owners in metro Phoenix paid an average of $1,900 in property taxes in 2016 according to ATTOM Data Solutions.

People who owned single-family homes in Arizona last year paid more than $3 billion in property taxes. The bulk of that cash — more than $2 billion — came from the Valley where the average bill was $1,900.

ATTOM Data Solutions looked at property taxes by state and metro areas and found Arizona and Phoenix among the bottom third. Arizona ranked 40th out of states, and the Valley ranked 188 out of 217 metro areas.

Across the U.S., single-family homeowners paid the least in Etowah County, Alabama, with an average of $776, and the most in Westchester County, New York, with an average of $8,477. You can view property taxes by county here.
