Following up on our long-running series highlighting the buildings with the highest property taxes across the U.S.,\n we\u2019ve drawn from PropertyShark and CommercialEdge data, along with public records, to compile an up-to-date list of\n the office assets with the most substantial tax bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As expected, the presence of New York City office properties was once again overwhelming with 82 out of 100 entries\n located in and around Manhattan. Specifically, in 2022, these assets generated roughly $2.2 billion in property tax\n revenue, accounting for 84% of the total contributed by all 100 properties in the ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chicago was the runner-up in terms of the number of entries in the nationwide ranking, with 15 office properties from\n this region garnering $344 million in total property taxes. More important, as we looked at the highest tax-paying\n office buildings outside of New York City, the Windy City made up the bulk of that list: No fewer than 17 of the top\n 20 entries were from Chicago, while San Francisco and Washington, D.C. only managed to get three properties in the\n ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the very top, the ranking has shown a lot of consistency throughout the years, with the leading spot being claimed\n once again by the 1.9-million-square-foot General Motors Building. The Midtown office space<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 which has been owned by Boston\n Properties for more than a decade now \u2014 paid roughly $79.7 million in property taxes in 2022. That\u2019s approximately\n $14 million more than the runner-up, the MetLife Building (at $65 million).<\/p>\n\n\n
