Property taxes are generally searchable online. Redfin will tell you residential real estate taxes for a property, for example.

The assessed property tax values of the property. What does that have to do with the actual amount paid? Tax breaks for an entity don't apply to the assessed value of property owned by them...

Every taxing district I have looked up property in shows the actual amount billed. They always show all applicable credits the property or its owner qualify for. I haven't tried to look up NYS records, but I don't think it's any different.

But again, what portion of the taxes in question are actually property taxes. I pay lots of business taxes and my business owns no property.

You are saying if I bought a piece of property and paid property taxes on it, that all of my business taxes would suddenly show up in the property tax records?
