Average Taxes?
It's so ridiculous how expensive taxes are for a home. Is it me or paying $12-15K for taxes outrageous! I've been looking into merrick more and more and love the area but I feel as though the taxes are just way too high and it's so upsetting

Re: Average Taxes?
$12-15K is on the higher side.
You can find many towns on LI that have lower taxes. We are about $8K now.

Re: Average Taxes?
Unfortunately, it's rare to find lower than $10k in taxes these days BUT there certainly were a few towns (Seaford, Merrick, etc) that the taxes were well over $11k.
I swore i wouldn't buy a house with taxes over $8k, Unfortunately I couldn't find anything. My taxes will be $10k
I think they are all outrageous.

Re: Average Taxes?
ugh i dont know how you guys do it.....i can't imagine paying $500 or more a month on my mortgage for taxes 
in the area we are looking in the taxes range from 2500-4000 and i think that is high! 
i give you girls a lot of credit - we are nervous about buying somewhere way less expensive than here (as far as housing and taxes) and we are so nervous! we are doing it there on one salary though so that makes it more scary - here we would do it on two - but still, if we are scared to buy something in florida i can't imagine how scared we'd be to buy in NY!!!

Re: Average Taxes?
kings park and northport have lower then usual taxes you should look into those areas.
(it also depends on how much the house is, if your looking at house that are over 500K I think that is the minumum you will be paying) but nassau seems to have higher taxes then suffolk

it was the rebate check that was done away with (but maybe back in 2010) - basic and enhanced star is still in effect

This is accurate. There was some confusion about the STAR tax "rebates".
To the OP, I live in Merrick. When we bought our house in 2006 our taxes were $9500, they are now $12k+  Had I known our taxes were going to increase by $1k on a yearly basis I would have NEVER bought this house and unfortunately we are stuck here now b/c of the housing market.
It is a beautiful area and great school district. Nassau County reassessed the homes and we got a letter saying our dropped 17% (which was for all of Nassau I think) so I am hoping our taxes will go down as well but I am sure they will figure something out so we are still paying the same

Re: Average Taxes?
sadly, what you stated is the average on LI.
what i find startling and outrageous is that CAC increases taxes.
