Re:$500 pm property tax? (Score 1)

That's rather a bargain (considering the house price) compared with Long Island, New York. I have a modest 3-BR ranch (1,000 sq ft) witn attached garage on 1/6 acre (70 x 100 ft). I'm just under an hour by express train from Penn Station in Manhattan. On this house, the taxes are $6,543.90 next year. As they say on a local radio commercial "taxes to choke a rhino!" We also pay a state income tax, as well as state and local sales taxes.
