@spaniellove: Oh, yeah. My sister works in Philly and she recently bought a house in Philly so she doesn't have to pay that now.
-
@sunny: Ah, yes. I googled it and found this link. Explains what you just did. I'm got so many things to learn when I become a homeowner.

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.
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.

I live in a suburb of Atlanta and mine are $1200 this year.
-
@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.
-
We pay $0. 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.
-
We pay about $4K a year in northern Illinois (just outside of the suburbs).
-
We own a small condo in downtown Chicago and we pay 3500 a year in taxes
-
Around 10k
our township is notoriously high.
-
I'm in this TINY pocket of NJ where taxes are extremely reasonable! I live in Point Pleasant Boro, and, mine is $4500/year. My in-laws pay more than $10K just 4 min drive away in Point Pleasant Beach!
-
You guys - these are crazy prices!! I was crying about our $2,200 tax (in KS) that we have to pay! Well, I will count my lucky stars then, and be sooo happy with my taxes!
-
I think ours are about 6,500. They are much higher in our city than the surrounding ones.
-
I think ours are around 1500/year
-
omg! Some of these numbers are insane! Why is NJ so high??
Alberta Canada and we pay approx. $2,500.
-
My condo in Chicago is around $3,500. The taxes on the house that we're buying in the suburbs will be about $8k. We are in a really good school district so that helps make me feel better about it.
-
1200 a year
-
@chibee: I think I should convince DH to move to Point Pleasant Boro! That's definitely reasonable for NJ.
-
In Ontario, $4200 currently, will be about $7200/year when we move to our new place. "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.
-
$13,000 in northern NJ. Far cheaper than the $18,000 we were looking at for a comparable house 5 mins away in NY!
-
Southwest Florida and we pay just under 1k a year after the 25k homestead discount.
-
Around $5000-$6000 for a small house in the suburbs of Chicago. Plus another $700 for a little piece of land somewhere in Wisconsin that I have yet to even step foot on.
-
@spaniellove: Oh, that Philly city wage tax. I remember seeing my first paycheck and thinking, what in the $@$!?!!
-
In Oklahoma on a $250k house, it's about $3200 per year.
-
5k a year. We live south of Seattle.
-
Ontario Canada and about $3500 a year.
-
We live in Chicago: we paid $4700 in taxes for our condo....roughly $13,000 for our house. expensive
our township is notoriously high.
