i will guess at 17-21k depending on where ....lets see what they actually say.
the owner of the company i worked for has a 2 million dollar home and pays 40k . my son is in ryebrook with a 1.25 million dollar home and pays 31k .
We were able to keep the taxes low because it is a 1200 sf cape. I did redo the entire house, but I never changed the footprint which made all the difference. My neighbors who have dormered are paying 14k-20k depending on how much sf they added and how many added bathrooms.
We downsized from 3000sf to this and are loving it. So much easier to manage.
Our property taxes just went up to 9000, but we are in the process of grieving them so they will most likely be a little less. It's really not bad for the area.
Yeah, not bad for that area. Is there any way of controlling them at all? Any senior exemptions?

Right. When I lived in the northeast, my neighbor cleared a couple acres in the back. Suddenly, taxes jumped 50% because they now had a “view property”.
I could see where a couple your ages in that area would have to have a 1M nest egg just to cover property taxes and health insurances. You did a great job managing both sides of the equation !
We are in Garden City Park. I wanted this school district for my last school aged child who is in 9th grade. It was the perfect scenario for us because when she flies the coop it is very manageable for 2. I love the location because I can walk to many stores, 2 blocks to LIRR and 20 min. to the beach.
The people who left the homes original size have great taxes. The others are paying through the nose. Have to know how to play the game in Town of North Hempstead!

The game here in CA is to not move and if you do, wait till you are a senior, and downsize.
