I'm not sure if this is what your getting at:

Best and Worst States: The analysis of real estate taxes across states is complicated by the fact multiple local jurisdictions follow different assessment, administration, and reporting procedures. In addition, 37 states also collect property taxes at the state level. Based on data from the 2005 American Community Survey by the U.S. Census Bureau, the following five states have the lowest median real estate taxes per $1,000 of value. They are Louisiana ($1.72), Hawaii ($2.04), Alabama ($3.10), District of Columbia ($3.76), and Delaware ($3.95). The states with the highest median real estate taxes are Wisconsin ($18.20), Texas ($18.17), Nebraska ($16.69), Vermont ($16.35), and New Hampshire ($16.33).

States like California, Hawaii and the District of Columbia have higher home values than New Jersey but on average collect significantly less real estate taxes per property.

And there is this May 2007 report: Residential Real Estate Tax Rates in the American Community Survey
