Are these property taxes average!?

[Nicole Heasley Beitenman]

I'm starting to look around for duplexes in the CH/UH area for house hacking. I found one for $80k that needs some improvements, and it's in a dingier-looking part of town. The property taxes are over $11k, which is more than double the property taxes for my current primary in UH. And my primary is definitely in a nicer area. 

Is it so high because it's a MFH? Would I be able to get them lowered like I did when I bought my current primary? I know Cuyahoga County is bad, but at that rate, I don't know how they'll ever sell that house. I'd never pay that kind of money for that area. It's not unsafe, just a little more run-down than where I'm at now.
