That continues a steady increase that saw the average property taxes at $13,926 in 2014, $13,657 in 2013, $13,435 in 2012, $13,118 in 2011, and $13,023 in 2010. 

The average rate was $10,639 in 2006, which means an increase of nearly $4,000 in the average yearly tax bill in just the last decade.

That also coincides with the loss of the state property tax rebates, which ended in 2007.
