Real Estate Taxes

Kelsbells6 · January 2015

We're all scattered across the country - what are your yearly real estate taxes???

Kelsbells6 · January 2015

That makes me feel better @SaraML13‌. Where are you located???

ANGnJON · January 2015

Mine are cheap, $2100 a year. That's why a lot of folks retire to my area from DC, NY & NJ. We also have no sales tax.

Kelsbells6 · January 2015

@SaraML13‌ I pay $18k and I'm in Long Island. We do have great schools but I cannot get the town to fix the curb they took out last year plowing! It really sucks. We don't have a huge house or piece of property but it's all about location!!

BTW / I love Chicago and Frank Lloyd wright houses!!

We rent, but our neighbors pay $26k. We have friends who pay > $40k. One couple we think pays Close to $100k after comments made while drunk.

Kelsbells6 · January 2015

My uncle pays $40k and my parents pay $24k. I guess I'm lucky.

:-O
Wow.

I know how much lower mine are than most areas because I spent several years originating mortgage loans all across the country. Luckily, we only pay about $2500 for our home in Jacksonville, FL.

Jennifer18131 · January 2015

I legitimately have no idea!

mrsc928 · January 2015

We pay about $3k. We live in the CA Bay Area.

ajh1230 · January 2015

We just moved so I think it'll be around 3K. In Virginia it was double that.

MrsTinMKE · January 2015

We pay just a hair under $5k - 2 minutes ago I thought that was alot. Its still high for Eastern WI and for the house we have

MrMrsandBaby · January 2015

Around 8k and we are NW of Chicago...not a suburb though.

beachbumsc · January 2015

I have two houses. I paid a little over 5k for the one I live in and 1700 for the one I rent out.

Raesofsunshine1 · January 2015

Right around $1k.

Coles404 · January 2015

$1,100 I think. It may have gone down a bit this year.

MrsSarahRenee · January 2015

6k suburbs

And my house isn't an expensive home in town

bsquaredmsquared · January 2015

In the teens which is average around here

PBJellyTime · January 2015

We pay $3,500 in Central Illinois

MuffinMom14 · January 2015

I have no idea, but it's definitely under a grand. If I told you my mortgage for a pretty nice house with 4 bedrooms, and two baths, you would shit yourselves.

Jesslynnsell · January 2015

We will pay $1200. We live just outside of Atlanta.

Update: I asked my husband. I win. He says he thinks it's around $600.

staryb · January 2015

We rent but I work in a real estate office so I know that taxes around us are all over the place. I'm in Pittsburgh and I've seen taxes under $1000 and over $5000 and beyond for similarly sized homes. It's just a matter of school districts, proximity to the city and house/lot size for the neighborhood. When we do buy a home I'd like to stay under $2500.

slsl509 · January 2015

Like the daycare expense thread, this thread teachs me that I cannot complain. Ours are 3500 which I do think is high for where I live but wow. I can't believe how much others pay.

bumpuser10309732 · January 2015

Holy hell! Ours is 1800 which is high considering we live in BFE...

How's that working out for you, @apk4?

Yeah...we live in BFE too. Real estate value is through the roof in the cities here. So we live in a podunk town with a population of like 2500 if we're lucky. I think ours is about 2k. I can't believe some people pay 30k!!

I KNOW. I told the girl sitting next to me and she was like WHAAAAT. Ours is $600 and hers is $700. So. Yeah. And I swear we don't live in the ghetto, and our houses are nice.

Freaking expensive for freezing my tits off all the time.

pnwlover12 · January 2015

@apk4

Do you have to walk a half mile to shit in an out-house too?

On good days. When the hill is slippery enough I just slide right down. When it's not, that half mile feels like 2.

vrj0522 · January 2015

We pay $3k, which seemed like a lot to me until I read this thread.

RockyNFrankie · January 2015

My town is $30 per $1000 which is the 3rd highest in my state and it essentially gets us nothing. We didn't do our homework before buying in this town. Apparently we have a really amazing high school that all our $$ goes to.

Lindzoid · January 2015

Well this thread makes me feel better about the close to $8k we pay. However this reply comes to your from the tax tax tax state of CT. If they could, they'd tax the air we breathe. I added up the car tax we paid last year....over $2k! Just for our cars.

We are very ghetto adjacent. With the homestead exemption credit it was under $200. I just looked it up because I honestly had no clue. No wonder our school system is shitty and utterly useless.

We are hoping to move this year and it will go up to around $2,000.

ETA: We also pay sales tax and state income tax so that is part of the reason it is so low. We are taxed every which way they are able to tax us.
