Here's a quote, right out of the article on tax-friendly places...yes, it does take into consideration property tax. We only think our taxes are high because we don't have to deal with all of the other taxes such as sales tax, and to a lesser degree, income tax. Talk to some of the people in some of those least friendly places, ie. New York, Washington DC, and Maine and I'll bet that their property taxes are making them miserable.
Everyone hates to pay taxes. We should be happy that New Hampshire ranks so well when it comes to tax-friendly places.
"Using data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis and the National Conference of State Legislatures, the Tax Foundation measures as a percentage of per capita income residents' income, property, sales and other personal taxes levied at the state and local levels. It also factors in the portion of business taxes passed along to state residents through higher prices, lower wages or lower profits."
