I voted under but not by much. Last year I paid $10,600. My STAR 'discount' amounts to $1,400 so technically my taxes are $12,000. I'm currently selling my house and legalizing some stuff so the next owner's tax bill will likely be increased. I live in a nice house in New Hyde Park. It's not worth paying this amount so I'm moving next month. There are many reasons for my move, not just taxes, but the taxes are definitely a factor. So, yes, I sadly think $12,000/year is becoming the norm for a typical tax bill.
Holy cra-p-ola! Just looking at those numbers makes my head spin!
You pay for it in one way or another. My friend in Florida pays no state income tax, and only 3K a year in property taxes..but has to pay 11K a year to send his kids to private schools so they dont go to schools in trailers!
I was just looking up some houses in areas with poor school districts, and I just can't believe a 200k 3br/1ba old ranch in roosevelt pays $7676/yr in property taxes! Just insane!
$4800 here in centereach......yea schools are mediocre....but not horrible.
