Good news: We’re No. 205

By Jeff Ostrowski | Wednesday, December 20, 2006, 08:00 AM

In an intriguing analysis of property tax bills, the Tax Foundation looks at 775 counties and finds Palm Beach County’s tax burden ranks 205th.

That’s based on a median tax bill of $2,207 — and just behind the not-so-lofty real estate market in LaSalle County, Ill., where the median home value is a mere $114,500.

Topping the list is New York’s Westchester County, where the typical tax bill is $7,337.

Martin County’s median bill is $1,958, ranking 236th. St. Lucie County’s typical tax bill is $1,607, ranking it 345th.
