Well, FWIW, I'd consider the current average property taxes for an average house in western Suffolk (meaning a house that is between 2500 and 3200 sq ft, sitting on 1/3 to no more than 1/2 acre) and located in a community other than Wyandanch, Brentwood or the north part of Bay Shore to be between $12K and $16K.
Whether that's "normal" in the grand scheme of U.S.A. property taxes is another question entirely, but if you are asking what the expected property taxes are in western Suffolk, that'd be my answer.
Certain parts of certain communities in western Suffolk will be higher (ditto certain school districts as a whole.)

Impossible to answer for a number of reasons. Define normal. Taxes vary based upon size of home, location, size of property, improvements, city, town, village, Nassau County, Suffolk County.
Maybe try to narrow it down a bit more and we can give you a better answer.
Taxes are a function of the assessed value of the house and the tax rate.
Towns likes Great Neck & Manhasset have a very low tax rate under 1% but the houses are generally very expensive so the total tax bill is still pretty high. A $2mm assessed house might pay $20k or less per year in taxes.
In a town that pays 3% in taxes, the house would be $667k to pay those same $20k in taxes.
We live where I would consider the taxes to be normal. We live in a 2100sq ft split level and pay $9k in taxes without star. Our neighbors (400 houses in our neighborhood) all pay around the same, between $8k and $10k. Mid-Suffolk County.
