It all balances its self out in the end. One tax can be high in said state but have lower taxes on another

As someone who is relatively new to Maine the property taxes here are so dependent on which town you move to. My NH town was considered low tax. When we looked at some of the towns south of Bangor I was shocked at how much more I was going to have pay in property tax alone over my equivalent NH house. (To be fair I’m told that the town I was looking at is where all the doctors and lawyers live but it was a huge increase in tax burden even when you consider some of the other ways NH gets you)

You can say it all you want. Doesn't mean you are accurate

I am 100% on point .....The state's property taxes are somewhat higher than the national average at a 1.09% effective rate.....
