Try living in Upstate NY. My school taxes were $2,500 in 2007. With no change in property assessment, they are up to $3,400 this year. And we just found out that the local library wants to jack their portion of the tax by over 25%.
This place was a boomtown in the 1960's. Today, the booming business is in demolishing abandoned buildings.
- ajays 16y agoIn San Francisco, a 2-BR condo goes for around $800K. At a 1.16% property tax rate, you'll be paying $9000/year in property taxes. How's that for a tax rate?
- Duff 16y agoIn my city, a 3 BR home assessed at $175k goes gets hit for $3100 school and $2100 city/county taxes. A little less than 3x more. That said I'm not claiming that San Francisco is a cheap place to live, but I'm assuming, that like NYC, living there comes with other opportunities that may balance the costs somewhat.
