I've been looking at real estate listings and have noticed that taxes in Chappaqua seem to be in the $18k range for +2000 sq ft homes on +1/3 acre. $18k is nothing to sneeze at, but it does seem relatively low when compared to other towns in central/southern Westchester. In fact, I think Chappaqua ranks pretty well in my unscientifc list for lowest taxes after Yonkers, White Plains, Hartsdale/Elmsford, Valhalla, and Hawthorne/Thornwood. Does this seem right to anyone else?

At the price you quoted the tax obligation appears to be $24.80 per $1000 of assed value, that is assuming you are taxed on 100% of the homes value. Does this include school tax? If it does then this is about the average rate for most communities.

Our taxes in Chappaqua are about 2.5% of the purchase price. This seems relatively low compared to Briarcliff and Pleasantville.

Very interesting. Never thought to look at the rate per $1000 of assessed value.
