Why do I pay higher taxes than my neighbor?

You may live in a different taxing district than your neighbor. There may be enough differences in size, quality, or condition of land and improvement that will result in value differences between the properties.

Also, your neighbor may be eligible for some form of property tax reduction for which you either did not qualify or did not apply.
