How much are your property taxes?

[poohluvrs]

Inspired by another thread, how much are your annual property taxes, & what state do you live in?

As property values are rising everywhere, residents in my area are up in arms about increased taxes, ours actually seem pretty reasonable, approx $3800/yr for a 5,000 qft home in Mass......

Anyone else????

Ours are $1803 this year in TN.

My parents were only $350 last year in northwest AL.

This year ours was $4,800. Last year we paid $247. but this was also in AL.....

Yikes...$6,500 for us in NJ. We have a decent sized corner lot.

 

[Kirby]

Around $3600 for a 3000 sq ft home on 1 1/2 acres. That does not include city taxes. We're not in the city limits (yet).

$8700/year, 4300 sq ft. - Connecticut (Fairfield County)

 

[JVL1018]

$10,200 for a 2 family-3 bedrooms downstairs, 2 bedrooms up, full basement-on an oversized(for this area) corner lot.

I'm in Western NY-- (near PA line). Mine are $3200 w/ a village tax. I have a 1300 sqft home on a 65x255 lot.

One of the reasons we plan to move to AL when we retire-property tax rates. Here in South Texas, we pay $2700/yr on 1850 sq ft. Our last home was 3100 sq ft and we payed over $5000/yr. And house insurance way down here is unbelievably high.

My taxes are $4,059 for a 1,000 sq ft house in New Jersey.

 

[jenks0718]

We have new construction and it is about 2000 square feet including finished basement. We pay 5400.00 Our lot is not that big though 50x100

 

[bicker]

$3669 for 2200 sq ft condominum.

 

[MUFFYCAT]

We pay $7100.00 for 60 x 100 lot with no garage and basement.

 

[jel0511]

Well I seem to be the winner here. 13K per year for 1/2 acre and 4000 sq ft house, with finished basement.

 

[MouseDogMom]

I'm feeling really really lucky here. $1200 for 1600 sq ft on a 3/4 acre lot in NC. But we hear all the time from people moving here that the reason is the property taxes up north!

We now live if FL (I guess I should have made that clearer) but in AL we hardly paid ANY property taxes. AL has the lowest property tax in the nation. We paid 9% sales tax on EVERYTHING and when we ate out we paid 10% tax.

 

[debloco]

$5300 ('04-'05 bill) for a 2100 s.f. house with a finished basement on a 1/4 acre lot.

Well I seem to be the winner here. 13K per year for 1/2 acre and 4000 sq ft house, with finished basement.

Ouch.

Although I just realized that our rate is not far off of yours. If I double my land and house size (1/4 acre to 1/2 acre and 2100 s.f. to 4200 s.f.) my property taxes would be $10,600.

Makes me rethink moving to a bigger house with more land!
