Average LI taxes
Im trying to figure out what is truly the norm for what people are paying in taxes. We had an opportunity at a house with $18K taxes which I thought is crazy but DH seems to think this is close to the norm which he assumes is ~$15K

It depends on the area. Taxes where I am are relatively low, ~$10-15k.
The areas where we want to move it is difficult to find a house with taxes lower than $20k.

Average LI taxes
I just bought a house with a built in pool and the taxes are about 12K - which includes the taxes for the village I am located in. It's not a huge piece of property, but big enough to have the pool, patio and grass area. I thought that was pretty reasonable. To me $18K is definitely on the high side, but it definitely depends on where you are looking

Re: Average LI taxes
That's hard to answer. They vary so much. Maybe $18K is the norm for the town you're looking in.

Re: Average LI taxes
Depends on the size of house , lot, schools.
I hate when my parents complain about their taxes. I tell her, well you have a bigger house and bigger lot size. Then I hear well we do not have kids in the schools anymore why do we have to pay school taxes? I tell her if people in your age bracket do not want to pay it then sell and move somewhere else.
I agree, taxes are a little too high but I keep telling myself once the youngest is out of HS we consider looking elsewhere!

I think $10-14 is average and is pretty much what people I know including myself pay in taxes in Nassau County. $18K is really high but it may be in line with the town you are looking in and the style of house.

Re: Average LI taxes
It depends upon the price of the home. I would think $10-12k is average. In NJ the people I know with $18k in taxes have $1M homes.

I'd say 10-12K.
I've seen low 7's to high teens for one town alone in western suffolk.

It really depends on area. I pay about $8500 in Holbrook. 3000 SF home on a 100x100 lot. Several years ago my mom was paying that on a standard, unexpanded Levitt cape with a lot half the size.

Re: Average LI taxes
I agree that it's hard to generalize the entirety of Long Island. There are some estates on the North Shore of Nassau that have taxes of $50K plus! And there are areas that are known to have lower taxes and smaller homes (under $10K). New construction in even an area like North Bellmore means taxes in the $25K range.
Assuming that you are talking about an average home in a middle class LI neighborhood on a typical (60 by 100) lot, then I'd say $11K to $15K is the "norm." Under $10K on LI is GREAT. Over $15K you are probably talking about a larger house with many improvements or a larger lot or waterfront or maybe a house where the taxes haven't been grieved in many years.

Re: Average LI taxes
Without hoa fees, we are just under 10K. I love a house around the corner from us but the taxes are 21k which makes the house out of our price range.
