Property Tax<\/h3>

Property taxes in the United States are primarily divided into two main categories:<\/p>

Real property tax<\/h6>

Real property encompasses land, along with the buildings and fixtures permanently affixed to it. Real property taxes are assessed on agricultural, industrial, commercial, residential, and utility property.<\/p>

A foreigner investing in U.S. real estate needs to take state taxes into account. Each state generally sets property tax rates as a percentage of a property\u2019s assessed value. However, there are wide variations of real estate property tax from state to state. It ranges from 0.28%<\/a> in Hawaii to 2.49%<\/a> in New Jersey, and there can also be local rate variations among different locales in the same state.<\/p>

For example, Maria, a Canadian citizen, purchases a $500,000 condominium in Princeton, New Jersey, as an investment property. Based on New Jersey’s property tax rate of 2.49%, she would pay approximately $12,450 annually in property taxes ($500,000 \u00d7 0.0249 = $12,450).<\/p>

While property taxes may be similar for foreign nationals and U.S. citizens, there could be slight differences. For example, many states with high levels of second-home ownership (for instance, Vermont) offer tax discounts to state residents, which effectively raises rates for non-state residents.<\/p>

Personal property tax<\/h6>

Personal property is property that is not permanently attached to land: e.g., automobiles, equipment, furniture, tools, and computers.<\/p>

Many state as well as local governments levy tax in the form of ad valorem property taxes on tangible personal property (TPP).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
