For chet and any others who own homes across the world, vote using only the taxes on your primary residence.

Do not include any additional HOA fees.

Feel free to add what state and/or county you live in.

If you live in a boat or tent and have some other weird circumstances just vote whatever.

Lastly, if you are not currently "paying" your taxes I still want you to vote with what your tax bill is.

 
3,500 sq ft 4/3 home, 1/2 acre backed up to protected woods and a lake in MN in upper middle class suburb... 4,500

1,200 sq ft 3/2 home, .2 acre tiny lot surrounded by other homes in upper middle class Chicago suburb... 5,200.

just broke through $10k this year in a Boston suburb.

I can't wait to downsize and get to a better property tax situation.

I pay a ridiculous $450.00 on a 3200 Square foot, $240,000 home.

Louisiana has a huge exemption on property taxes. We make up for it with very high sales taxes (9.75%).

 
We live in a suburb north of Dallas, TX. 3200 sq feet on about an acre. Our property tax bill was over $9000 in 2015.

We get both in Chicago...raped on property taxes and sales tax. Yipee.

 
$3,300- on 2600+ sq ft in Raleigh burb, jokishly low IMO.

back in NY (Putnam county) was $13,000 on 2400 sq ft, with no garbage, sewer or gas lines and no kids in school (hence the move).

i'm shocked at the results of this poll... i had no idea property taxes could get so high.

2700 sq. ft here and $2200

Yeah, both of mine are similar - maybe a bit more sq footage and a bit more tax but damn some of you guys are getting raped.

Just looked it up - $2,609 on 2,700 sq ft. house, on 2.96 acres.

I'm not sure about other places, but property taxes in Texas are higher because there is no state income tax.

I live in a suburb north of Dallas and paid just under $4,000 on a 2,000 sq ft house.

 
I have they joy of being able to pay both town and county property taxes. It totals $1.318/$100 of property value. My $400k house will cost me $5200 this year.

 
For people in the Northeast you should have a 15k-20k and 20k+ option.

I pay more in annual taxes than my parents paid for the home I grew up in.

 
I get the triple threat of high property (3%), state income (~10%) and sales tax (8.75%) here in Western NY. At least the cost of living is otherwise very low...

Our teachers and policemen make 100,000+ yet the teachers never shut up about how underpaid they are and the police association is constantly calling the house soliciting for donations.

 
$13K+

While the schools and services have been great, I'm SO looking forward to getting out of Dodge when my youngest graduates high school next year. Paying these taxes because you are close to the greatest city in the world sucks when you don't have the funds to take advantage of that. Should've moved long ago. (Dammit! Yet another for the "regret" thread. :wall: )

 
Depends on Last reassessment, but I am Philly burbs $10kish. 3,650 new home. Family of 6.

4/3 2 car garage 2800 square feet under air, 1/3 of an acre on a lake, corner lot one neighbor on my right (that's it). In a very good affluent city (best A rated public schools in the county to boot) in Broward County Florida. Appraised value is 550K (tax appraised value is another story and I built/bought this home in 2009 when the world was ending) but thanks to Charlie Christ and being able to transfer my tax savings from my previous home (tax portability/Save Our Homes Act) I am paying far less than the 550K market value. Thanks Charlie!!!

$5500 a year.

I'm with you glock. I won't be able to sell my house fast enough when my youngest finishes HS. Wife is well aware of this and agrees with me.

 
NJ $5300. Small house on a 100x125 lot. Includes 1xweek trash pickup (2xweek in the summer) and biweekly recycling pickup.

 
About $10k annually for a 3100 sq ft house in Pearland (suburb of Houston).

High property taxes due to no state income tax.

 
Wow, I thought Maryland was a high tax state. I have a 1,500 square foot house on 1/2 acre. Assessment value is around $500k and I pay about $4,200 per year.

I guess we get more screwed on state income taxes and such.

 
Fortunately for me, my primary residence is in a homestead state where the assessed values plummeted with the bursting of the real estate bubble. This significantly lowered my home's value below its current worth and it will take decades before the taxable value reaches the real value.

Unfortunately, I own some investment property in a community that saw a significant devaluation after 2005. To maintain its ridiculous wasteful spending habits, the city instituted a significant mill rate bump. As property values have recovered, property tax bills have really increased and the increase in tax burden is not recuperable with rental increases. I am becoming concerned to where it might be beneficial to cash out now.

 
Just got our notice about it today - $3,200 for 2016, on an estimated value of $383k. Fortunately the estimate is lower than we could actually sell it for by at least $100k. We live in Colorado.

 
In Miami, the property tax rate is about 2% per year of the assessed value, which lags behind (or ahead during the recession) the actual/market value. BUT, for those who've lived in their homes for a long time, there is big tax benefit: Save Our Homes cap. It limits increases in assessed value to 3% per year or the CPI, whichever is lower.

When I sold my 2000 SF house in 2013 for $360,000, I was paying only about $2,200 in taxes, because I bought the house many years earlier for $110,000. And I benefited from a $25,000 homestead deduction. The new owner is paying about $6,000 in taxes, which would be even higher except that the assessed value is lagging the actual value.

I was also paying about $8,000 per year in combined wind storm/hazard/flood insurance in 2005, which was eventually reduced to $5,000, to cover a $200,000 mortgage. I lived near the coast about 3 feet above sea level. Miami is an expensive place to buy property, given the modest salaries most people earn.
