What do Hawaii and New Jersey have in common? Probably not much, but especially when it comes to property taxes, per WalletHub, which says what you pay on your real estate can range from a "small inconvenience" to a "major burden." The Aloha State falls under the former's umbrella, designated as the state with the lowest property taxes, per the site's analysis of US Census Bureau data on real estate taxes and median home values. The Garden State, meanwhile, is the highest-taxed state in the land. Here, the top nine other states that deplete homeowners' wallets:
