Our taxes...

1800 a year here in nepa. Tho, due to our income and other considerations we pay no other taxes except sales. So it isn't all bad. In fact if one considers our EIC from the fed I pay no taxes at all. Well I do pay a little state sales tax here. Could be offset too. I just don't know because "necessities" aren't charged sales tax it's a tiny amount.

Central NY state, 1500 sf house, 40 by 60 pole barn and 36 acres...$7600!!! And the state says they're broke. They should look at my check book after paying. And they wonder why people and businesses are running from NY.

Zero property taxes for our primary residence. Trust me, we make up for it on 9% taxes on everything we purchase.

HOA's/LOA's are also pretty steep w/ monthly fees. Avoid those like the plague as well.

I may dig my own grave but here goes. I have a 2300 sq manufactured home and 1.25 acres and pay 1350 a year. But since I don't live in a real house the value of the home goes down every year and so do my property taxes. I hope the government doesnt catch this

Taxes on house and one acre, ~150. Taxes on my ag land, ~75c/acre, taxes on my pine plantation, ~3/acre. Plantation was ~9/acre... protested and had the rates lowered.

Goodness sakes, most of you guys have pretty inexpensive taxes. My parents live in a medium sized town in a 100+ year old house worth less than $100,000, on a 40X120 lot and pay #3,000+. We live on 27 acres reclaimed strip mined land. House is ~1200 sq ft. Hubby describes it as a dump. Barn is large and was the workshop for the mining operation. It looks like a very large kwansit hut with a couple of additions. It's large but not in great shape. Steel roof badly needs to be patched (well, it should be replaced). We've got 10 acres in good grass hay. We've got a nice creek down a ravine an outdoor horse arena, and a couple of pastures. Taxes ~$3000. The only reason they're that low is that it's taxed as ag.
