"Just" a 1600 sq ft house on 60x120ft lot, it's like a mortgage payment, insane, I think our region is one of the most expensive in Ontario for prop taxes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/property-taxes-how-much-do-you-pay/page/2#post-894248 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 17:25:00 +0000 mrsbookworm 894248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chibee: I think I should convince DH to move to Point Pleasant Boro!

Our condo building is new construction and was built during the housing boom and has an abatement. We had to prepay before the abatement came through, and I have to admit I am not sure how much that was. We live in Brooklyn, NY. In the suburbs of NYC, I've heard anything from $7k-$35k depending on the town and size of your home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/property-taxes-how-much-do-you-pay/page/2#post-892562 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 07:29:24 +0000 spaniellove 892562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I think she would still have to pay it...working/living in Philly has the highest tax rate for city wage, followed by working in Philly/living elsewhere I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/property-taxes-how-much-do-you-pay/page/2#post-892551 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 07:23:15 +0000 MsMamaBear 892551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in a suburb of Atlanta and mine are $1200 this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/property-taxes-how-much-do-you-pay/page/2#post-891741 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 20:36:38 +0000 Anagram 891741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Texas townhouse is about 3600/year. Our (just closed today!) NJ condo is about $10,000/year. But a little known fact is that as a percentage of the home's value, my taxes in Dallas were higher. It's just that property values in Texas are super low compared to the NE. Lots of my Dallas friends have houses in the suburbs for 200,000 or less. That's impossible in our city in NJ.</p> <p>Oh...just looked it up. Dallas is 2.73% of home value and Hoboken is 1.452%. Some neighboring towns are as high as 2.9% though, so looks like we just got luvpcky.</p> <p><a href="http://www.davedowns.com/prop" rel="nofollow">http://www.davedowns.com/prop</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/pdf/lpt/gtr12hud.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/pdf/lpt/gtr12hud.pdf</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/property-taxes-how-much-do-you-pay/page/2#post-891736 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 20:35:38 +0000 BSB 891736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: Ah, yes.
