How property taxes in National Harbor have changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates

Median owner cost with a mortgage	$2,420 (±$593)	$2,813 (±$675)	+16.2%	No measurable change after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.
